Nagpur: Congress’s two-day social media training camp concluded on Sunday with speakers like Alka Lamba addressing the gathering. Well-known Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera too addressed party members at the Nav Sankalp Social Media Shivir through virtual mode.
The focus of the camp was to enhance the organization’s social media capabilities and also to tackle the rapid spread of fake news.

Lamba said that everyone should be ready to even go prison in the “fight for truth”.
Congress national social media unit chairman Rohan Gupta said, “Congress is ready to fight the war against hatred and tear down the fake propaganda placed by BJP. Social media warriors have given the clarion call from Nagpur to fight the hate ideology of BJP-RSS.”
Vishal Muttemwar, president of the social media unit of Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee, said that the camp witnessed participation from across the country. “We had members coming in from all four corners of the country and sharing their experiences. We are thankful to senior leaders of our party who provided guidance and encouragement to party members,” said Muttemwar.
