Rahul Gandhi’s account was locked by Twitter last week for allegedly sharing a photograph of the parents of a nine-year-old Dalit girl who was allegedly raped and murdered in the national capital. But Twitter did not stop there, it also suspended several accounts of Congress leaders for sharing the image, However, the accounts of Rahul Gandhi and his acolytes were restored on Saturday (14 August).
“You Twitter, you’ve done a mistake by blocking Rahul Gandhi’s twitter account, not promoting our tweets. So, we are frying this [Twitter Bird] and sending it to the headquarters in Gurgaon and Delhi,” said a Congress worker reportedly identified as son of former party MP Harsha Kumar.
“Twitter, I hope you’ll enjoy your dish,” he added.
