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.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.

"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.

The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.
