The convenor of the Social Media cell of Uttarakhand Congress Amarjeet Singh has accused the BJP for trying to stifle the voice of opposition. He said that the former president of Congress party Rahul Gandhi condemned the rape and murder of a nine year old girl in Delhi after which his twitter account was locked on the insistence of the government. He said that Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) president Ganesh Godiyal supported Rahul Gandhi by using ‘#I am also Rahul’ and demanded justice for the victim after which the account of Godiyal too was locked. Amarjeet Singh said that he also tweeted in support of Rahul Gandhi and Godiyal and raised questions on the Delhi incident following which his Twitter account was also suspended.
“The accounts of many workers of Congress who are part of the social media team are also locked. It is all happening at the behest of BJP. The government is trying to silence the voice of the Congress workers but we will not get bogged down. The BJP’s anxiety is clearly visible and it would be reflected in the upcoming elections in five states,’’ he said.
