Congress alleges Rahul’s Twitter account ‘temporarily suspended’, firm denies

The Congress said on Saturday Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account was temporarily locked and that it was following due process to restore access, even as the social media company denied earlier reports that the leader’s account was “temporarily suspended”.

Earlier in the day, the Congress said Gandhi’s Twitter account was temporarily suspended. “Shri @RahulGandhi’s Twitter account has been temporarily suspended & due process is being followed for its restoration. Until then, he will stay connected with you all through his other SM platforms & continue to raise his voice for our people & fight for their cause. Jai Hind,” the Congress’ official handle posted on Twitter. It, however, clarified later that the account was temporarily locked.
