Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account was temporarily locked over alleged violation of Twitter’s policy, when the Congress leader raised the issue of rape of a minor Dalit girl in Delhi. The account was later unlocked by Twitter.
Now in a video doing the rounds on social media platforms, Congress workers can be seen frying the “Twitter bird”.
“Twitter, you have made a mistake by locking Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account and not promoting our tweets. So, we are frying this (Twitter bird) and sending it to the headquarters in Gurgaon [Gurugram] and Delhi,”a Congress worker is heard saying in the video.
“Twitter, I hope you’ll enjoy your dish,” he said.
The Congress worker said they couriered it to the Twitter office in Gururgram and Delhi.
