Digital Emergency in India?

In the past few hours, we have seen that Twitter has locked the official account of many Big oppositions leaders like Ajay Maken, Sushmita Dev, Sanjay Nirpuam, and many more. Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi's account which has around 20 million global followers was already locked by Twitter earlier. The word " Digital Emergency" is trending right now in India. People are saying, LOCKING the ACCOUNT of the main Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, (who is the voice of the people), an account of Congress Party- the National Party of India, accounts of the Major Congress Leaders and Supporters is a WAY TO SCUTTLE FREE SPEECH! The list of  INCIndia leaders Twitter handles getting restricted only gets longer by the minute. This is a calculated and deliberate assault on Congress leaders and volunteers by a fascist govt. Restricting opposition voicing online is not but #DigitalEmergency 

Journalist Prashant Kumar shared a post with a pic having locked notification of Congress Twitter account went viral on the internet, you can check this below

Congress Party National Spokesperson & Member Coordination Group Supriya Shrinate also commented with some facts and proof shown below.

यह @Twitter के दिशानिर्देश हैं- जिसके अनुसार अगर पिक्चर पहले से सोशल मीडिया पर है तो यह नियम का उल्लंघन नहीं है। पीड़िता परिवार की फ़ोटो @NCSC_GoI 2 अगस्त को डाली, @RahulGandhi ने 4 को

नियम कहता है कि मदद के इरादा उल्लंघन नहीं है

तो अकाउंट ब्लॉक क्यों किए #DigitalEmergency pic.twitter.com/UBrjg0AezY
