The Congress’ official Twitter accounts, as well as the accounts of around 5,000 of its leaders and workers, have been locked, the party claimed Thursday, amid mounting controversy over Rahul Gandhi and others being singled out for posting photos of Mr. Gandhi interacting with the family of a nine-year-old Dalit girl who was allegedly raped and killed in Delhi last week.
A screenshot of the Congress’ account was included in this morning’s Instagram post, along with a statement from Twitter stating that it had been shut due to a violation of Twitter rules prohibiting the publication or uploading of other people’s private information without their express consent.
