Congress wrote to Twitter, demanding action on tweet of 11 Union Ministers

Toolkit Case : Politics is intensifying over the alleged toolkit case in the country. A round of accusations between the Congress and the BJP is also continuing. The Congress is constantly slamming the Union ministers. The Congress has demanded action on Union ministers from Twitter 1 day after the Delhi Police raided Twitter offices. The Congress, citing the tweet of 11 Union Ministers, urged Twitter to take the same action in respect of these leaders as is done in ‘manipulated media’ (manipulated facts) and other cases of ‘forgery’. These leaders include Giriraj Singh, Piyush Goyal, Smriti Irani, Ravi Shankar Prasad, Prahlad Joshi, Dharmendra Pradhan, Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank, Thawarchand Gehlot, Harshvardhan, Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi and Gajendra Singh Shekhawat. Congress General Secretary and Chief Spokesperson Randeep Surjewala has sent the URLs of the tweets of the Union Ministers through a letter to the management of Twitter India and demanded action. Surjewala, in a letter to the Twitter management, said that the criteria for action in other cases of “misuse of the Twitter platform for broadcasting fake content” and “manipulated media” are also adopted in the cases of tweet of these ministers. Go at the moment, there has been no response from these senior ministers and the BJP to the move of the Congress. Last week Twitter described BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra’s tweet related to the alleged COVID toolkit as “tampered”. The BJP alleges that the Congress, by creating a toolkit, described the new form of Corona virus as the Indian form or Modi form and tried to tarnish the image of the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. However, the Congress rejected the allegations, considering that the BJP was resorting to fake toolkits to discredit it. The Congress has also registered a case of ‘forgery’ in the police against several senior BJP leaders.
