Twitter unblocks accounts of India’s main opposition party Congress
- Sunday | 15th August, 2021
MUMBAI (Reuters) – Twitter unblocked the accounts of India’s main opposition party Congress, its leader Rahul Gandhi and other party officials on Saturday, days after suspending the accounts over a tweet on the alleged rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl. Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala confirmed the restoration of all accounts and said the party “fought undeterred” against the block. Gandhi criticised Twitter on Friday for blocking the accounts, saying the platform was playing partisan politics. Twitter completed the hiring and complied with the rules this month, the government has said. Twitter’s India chief, Manish Maheshwari, will take up a new internal role in the United States, it said on Friday, without giving any reasons.
