Twitter has restored the account of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi a week after it was suspended for posting pictures that revealed the identity of a rape victim's family. Suspended accounts of several other Congress leaders have also been restored, according to party officials.
The move also comes a day after the former Congress President lashed out at the microblogging platform accusing it of bias and interference in India political processes. In a video statement he said that shutting down of his handle amounted to an 'attack on the country's democratic structure'.
