New Delhi, Aug 12 (TIWN): The Congress’s Twitter account, along with those of several of its key leaders, have been locked. The development comes close on the heels of the temporary suspension of Rahul Gandhi’s Twitter account.

Among leaders whose Twitter accounts were locked are AICC general secretary and former minister Ajay Maken, party’s whip in the Lok Sabha Manickam Tagore, Assam in-charge and former Union minister Jitendra Singh and Mahila Congress president Sushmita Dev.  “So! After Shri @RahulGandhi, the Lord @narendramodi Ji and Vassal @Jack & @twitter have locked @rssurjewala, @ajaymaken & @sushmitadevinc. @INCIndia registers its protest and promises to continue the fight for each and all being wronged! We shall hold on @AshwiniVaishnaw Ji,” tweeted Pranav Jha, the AICC secretary in-charge of the party’s communication department.

“The list goes on. @Twitter locks @JitendraSAlwar and @manickamtagore and many more. Doesn’t Modi Ji understand that we @INCindia’ns (sic) have a legacy of fighting even from behind the locks of kaala paani,” he asked in another tweet.
