Twitter unlocks accounts

Rahul Gandhi

Twitter on Saturday unlocked the accounts of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his party, a few days after it was temporarily suspended for sharing pictures of the family of a minor victim of alleged rape and murder in Delhi.

The Twitter accounts of other Congress leaders like Pawan Khera and Manickam Tagore have also been unlocked. The move comes a day after Gandhi criticised the microblogging site and called it "biased". Chairman of Congress' Social Media Department Rohan Gupta said on Saturday, "Twitter unlocked all accounts linked to Congress... This is the win of the people of India."

In a video statement, the Congress leader had questioned if India would let a company define its politics. "A company is making its business to define our politics and as a politician, I don't like that. This is an attack on the democratic structure of the country. This is not an attack on Rahul Gandhi, this is not simply shutting Rahul Gandhi down," the MP from Kerala's Wayanad said.
