Twitter locks Congress party’s official handle

NEW DELHI: Twitter on Thursday locked the official handle of Congress party stating that the handle violated rules of the microblogging site.

The Congress took to another social media platform Facebook to inform about Twitter’s locking after the party account.

“When our leaders were put in jails, we were not scared then why would we be afraid of closing our Twitter accounts now. We are Congress, this is the message of the people, we will fight, we will keep fighting. If it is a crime to raise our voice to get justice for the rape victim girl, then we will do this crime a hundred times. Jai Hind… Satyamev Jayate,” said the party’s post on Facebook.
