Twitter Unlocks Rahul Gandhi Account Day After His "Dangerous Game" Swipe

Rahul Gandhi had on Friday hit out at Twitter saying it was playing a dangerous game by interfering in India's democratic processes.

Twitter today restored Rahul Gandhi's account a week after it was temporarily suspended for tweeting pictures of the family of a nine-year-old victim of alleged rape and murder in Northwest Delhi. The move came a day after the Congress leader lashed out at the microblogging site. "Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account has been unlocked," a Congress source told PTI, adding that the accounts of some of its other leaders, who had shared Mr Gandhi's tweets, have also been restored. Twitter deemed the sharing of the images the reported rape victim's family a violation of its rules. The former Congress chief had, yesterday, accused Twitter of "interfering in the national political process" and said shutting down of his handle amounted to an "attack on the country's democratic structure".
