'Reason For Rahul Gandhi Ban': Congress Leader On Twitter Ex-CEO's Claim

Reacting to former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey's claim that there was 'pressure' from India to block accounts covering the farmers' protests, Congress leader KC Venugopal said today that the government wants to suppress the opposition's voice and that is why they banned Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account.

In an interview with the YouTube channel 'Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar' on Monday, Mr Dorsey, who stepped down from Twitter's board last year, alleged that the Indian government had put pressure on Twitter and said that it will shut down the company in India and raid the houses of its employees.

"The statement of the Twitter CEO is totally alarming and shocking for all of us. The entire government machinery is pressuring the Twitter CEO to suppress and shut the opposition's voice. That is why they banned Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account," Mr Venugopal said.

"Where is the freedom of expression, freedom of media? They do this to suppress failure. We will raise the issue not only in Parliament, but we will also raise the issue throughout the country," he said.

Meanwhile, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee president Nana Patole also supported Mr Dorsey's claim that there was 'pressure' from India to block accounts covering the farmers' protests and said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) must have made such attempts.

"What the (former) Twitter CEO said is totally correct. When BJP came into power, media was not given the power to show the truth. Earlier also, the BBC launched a short film on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central agency raided them. Yes, the government must have warned Twitter saying that if they report against us, we will raid departments of Twitter in India".

"We know that the BJP uses central agencies. Twitter is not lying but this government is telling lies and they must have used the central agencies against them (Twitter, BBC)," he added. 

In the interview, Mr Dorsey said, "India is one of the countries which had many requests around farmers' protests, around particular journalists who were critical of the government and it manifested in ways such as we will shut Twitter down in India."

"India is a big marketplace for us. We would raid the homes of your employees, which they did and we will shut down your offices if you don't follow suit and this is India, a democratic country," Mr Dorsey added. 

In November 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the repeal of the three Central farm laws. In his address to the nation, PM Modi had said, "Today I want to tell everyone that we have decided to repeal all three farm laws." 

Farmers had staged a protest in large numbers against the government's three farm laws since the Centre passed the laws in 2020.

Delhi To Bring One-Time Settlement Plan For Consumers With Water Bill Dues

The Delhi government will bring a one-time settlement scheme for the water bills of 11.7 lakh domestic consumers who have arrears, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal announced on Tuesday.

Addressing a press conference at the Delhi Secretariat, Mr Kejriwal said the government plans to implement the scheme from August 1 and the consumers will receive the corrected bills after that.

"There has been a severe accumulation of water bills. During the COVID-19 pandemic, meter readings could not be taken. Meter readers filed false readings and therefore, people received the wrong bills. There are 27.6 lakh domestic meters in Delhi and of these, 11.7 lakh bills have arrears and have not been submitted. The arrears are to the tune of Rs 5,737 crore," he said.

Explaining the scheme, the chief minister said it will be divided into two sub-heads -- one will cover those who have two or more correct readings and the other will cover those who have one or no correct meter reading.

"Had we gone about correcting every bill, it would have taken us more than 100 years to rectify those. Through this scheme, we will settle the bills of 11.7 lakh consumers. In fact, of these 11.7 lakh consumers, seven lakh will get zero bills following the implementation of the scheme," he said.

Mr Kejriwal said the scheme has been approved by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and will come to the cabinet soon. After the implementation of the scheme, the consumers will be given three months to pay the bills.

"If they fail to pay the bills within the three months, they will have to pay the bills with arrears," Mr Kejriwal said.

He added that the government is taking steps to stop wrong meter readings.
