“Truth stays unafraid,” Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday after the Delhi Police sent a notice to Twitter India in connection with the probe into a complaint about the alleged ‘COVID toolkit’. After two police teams descended on Twitter’s offices in Delhi and Gurgaon, the Congress on Monday had alleged that the “cowardly raid” on the microblogging web site’s places of work by the Delhi Police “exposes lame duck makes an attempt” to hide a “fraudulent toolkit” by BJP leaders.
Using the hashtag ‘Toolkit’, Gandhi tweeted, “Truth stays unafraid.” The Delhi Police’s Special Cell on Monday sent a notice to Twitter India in connection with the probe into a complaint about the alleged ‘COVID toolkit’, asking it to share information based on which it had classified a related tweet by BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra as “manipulated media”, officers stated. The BJP had accused the Congress of making a ‘toolkit’ that seeks to tarnish the picture of the nation and Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the dealing with of the COVID pandemic. However, the Congress denied the allegation and claimed that the BJP is propagating a pretend ‘toolkit’ to defame it.
Last week, Twitter labelled as “manipulated media” a tweet by Patra on the alleged ‘toolkit’. Twitter says it “may label Tweets that include media (videos, audio, and images) that have been deceptively altered or fabricated”.
