CHENNAI: The TN BJP’s IT wing retrieved on Monday the Twitter account of Gayathri Raghuram after the US microblogging site had suspended it on Sunday for violating its rules. The party’s art and cultural wing president had posted a series of tweets relating to the row over VCK leader Thol Thirumavalan’s statement on ‘Manusmriti’.
Her account (@gayathriraguram), which has 3.69 lakh followers, including several senior BJP netas, was suspended Sunday morning. “Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules,” the page said.
The party’s state IT cell president C T R Nirmal Kumar had earlier said, “We will take necessary steps to retrieve her account.” Raghuram’s account was restored at about 3.51 pm on Monday, following which she posted a message, “...I will always come back stronger.”
Her account was also suspended briefly last year for her posts on caste.
