'Twitter blocking my followers.., suppressing voice..', alleges Rahul Gandhi

New Delhi: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi has recently written a letter to Twitter accusing it of suppressing his access to social media platforms. Rahul Gandhi said that under the pressure of the government, undeclared restrictions are being imposed on the number of followers on Twitter to silence his voice. In a letter to Twitter CEO Parag Agarwal in December, Gandhi said, "I want to draw your attention to the fact that I feel that Twitter has "unintentional complicity" in curbing free and fair speech in India.''

Not only this, Rahul Gandhi wrote in his letter, "I have been told reliably by the people that there is a lot of pressure on Twitter India by the government to suppress my voice." Rahul Gandhi said that the ideological battle between liberal democracy and authoritarianism is going on all over the world on social media platforms. In such a situation, the responsibility of the people sitting at the top of companies like Twitter increases. Rahul Gandhi said, "It is shocking that the growth of my Twitter followers was stopped suddenly. Rahul Gandhi said, "I have 2 crore followers on Twitter. My Twitter handle is active and this year in July 2021, I have been growing 8-10 thousand followers every day.''

In fact, in August, Rahul Gandhi took to Twitter to share a photo of the parents of the 9-year-old rape victim. The BJP had attacked Rahul Gandhi accusing him of being insensitive and taking political advantage in such a case. After this, Rahul Gandhi's Twitter handle was temporarily banned. However, the ban was later lifted from Rahul Gandhi's account. Rahul Gandhi had said that he had shared the photo with the permission of the girl's parents.
