Leader of Opposition Digambar Kamat on Thursday claimed that Twitter has locked his account.

“My Twitter account is locked. I had posted a Tweet in support of the sentiments expressed by our leader Rahul Gandhi ji who had posted a tweet with a picture of him meeting the family members of a nine-year-old Dalit girl who died following alleged sexual assault. After this his account was also blocked,” Kamat said in a Facebook post. The Congress’ central social media cell claimed that Twitter blocked over 5,000 accounts of its leaders and prominent workers including Rahul Gandhi’s account for allegedly violating the rules of the micro-blogging site.

“Speaking for Dalits, Bahujan Samaj and protecting the identity of Goa has become a crime under the BJP government. Today, on the death anniversary of Goa’s first Chief Minister Bhagyavidhata Bhausaheb Bandodkar, I take a pledge to continue to be the voice of the people of Goa and fight for the rights of Bahujan Samaj,” the leader of opposition added.
