Rahul Gandhi slams Twitter for suspending his account

Lagatar24 Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has slammed Twitter for suspending his account after he shared pictures of the family of the nine-year-old victim of alleged rape and murder in Delhi. He accused Twitter of being biased and interfering in the country’s political process by blocking his account. He has asked Indians that whether such companies be allowed as they are beholden to India to define our politics.

“It’s obvious now that Twitter is actually not a neutral, objective platform. It is a biased platform. It’s something that listens to what the government of the day says,” he charged in a video message posted on social media.

“By shutting down my Twitter they are interfering in our political process. A company is making its business to define our politics. And as a politician I don’t like that,” he said.

“This is an attack on the democratic structure of the country. This is not an attack on Rahul Gandhi. This is not you know simply shutting Rahul Gandhi down. I have 19-20 million followers. You are denying them the right to an opinion. That’s what you are doing, ”Gandhi said in his video message.

As Indians, he asked, “we have to ask the question: are we going to allow companies just because they are beholden to the Government of India to define our politics to us.”

“Is that what this is going to come to? Or are we going to define our politics on our own? That’s the real question here,” the Congress leader said.

He alleged that this is not only patently unfair, but this is also breaching the idea that Twitter is a neutral platform.

“And for the investors, this is a very dangerous thing because taking sides in the political contest has repercussions for Twitter,” Gandhi said.

“Our democracy is under attack. We are not allowed to speak in Parliament. The media is controlled. And I thought that there was a ray of light where we could put what we thought on Twitter. But obviously, that’s not the case,” he said.

However, Twitter has replied that they are merely following their due process as Rahul’s tweet on the victim’s family was against its rule and laws.
