Congress alleges Twitter handles of 5 senior leaders, including Randeep Surjewala, locked

Congress has alleged that Twitter accounts of its leaders were locked and accused Twitter of acting against Rahul Gandhi's account under pressure from the government.

Close on the heels of temporary suspension of Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account, the Congress on late Wednesday claimed that similar action was taken against the handles of five senior leaders, including media head Randeep Surjewala.
