New Delhi: The National in charge of BJP’s Information and Technology Department, Amit Malviya was on Wednesday trolled by Twitter users after journalist Aadesh Rawal busted his claim regarding a journalist being turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference.

Taking to his official Twitter handle, Amit had on Wednesday evening claimed that a veteran journalist was turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference for asking a question.

Without naming the journalist Amit had claimed that the journalist has been covering the Congress party for the ‘longest time’ and is even accused of being sympathetic to them.

He further went on to question if this is the politics of love and tolerance Rahul Gandhi speaks of?

“Today, a veteran Congress beat journalist, who has been covering the party for the longest time, is even accused of being sympathetic to them, was turned out of Rahul Gandhi’s press conference, for merely asking a question. Is this the politics of love and tolerance RG speaks of?” he wrote in the tweet.

Replying to Amit’s tweet, journalist Aadesh Rawal said he was present in Rahul Gandhi’s press conference earlier in the day and said he had not come across any incident of any journalist being turned out of the press conference.

He further added that he spoke to his peers to know more about the incident but could not trace any truth to the claim.

“Amit Ji, I was present at the press conference. I even spoke to other friends and asked about any such incident. Nobody witnessed the incident where a journalist was turned out. It will be better if you can share more details about the incident” Aadesh wrote in Hindi.

Twitter users took note of the tweet from both Amit and Aadesh and started trolling Amit for his claim. Several users also urged Amit to respond to the Aadesh Rawal’s tweet with enough evidence to prove himself right.

New Delhi, Jan 26 (PTI): The Congress alleged Saturday its Rithala candidate Sushant Mishra was assaulted by a poll official, and demanded a thorough probe into the incident and action against him.

Party general secretary Jairam Ramesh claimed Sushant Mishra was assaulted by an Election Commission of India official on Saturday.

He alleged the official also attempted to prevent Mishra from undertaking a Padayatra for which the Delhi Police had already given permission.

In a post on X, Ramesh said, "@sushant_m has been actively taking up violations of the Model Code of Conduct by other candidates in the ongoing Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections. This unprecedented and illegal act of partisanship by an official of a Constitutional body like the ECI can only be seen as a desperate attempt by the AAP and BJP to stem the surge of support for his candidacy and that of the Congress Party in the Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections"

Ramesh said the Congress remains undaunted and will continue to raise the voice of people and protect the sanctity of elections.

"To preserve the integrity of the electoral process, the Indian National Congress demands a full inquiry into the incident and immediate corrective action against the concerned official," the Congress leader demanded.

Mishra has also separately written to the returning office and Chief Electoral officer and the Election Commission about the incident, demanding action against the accused.
