New Delhi: Indian National Congress led by its former chief Rahul Gandhi on Sunday organized a Twitter campaign with hashtag #SpeakUpForDemocracy for calling out of the BJP for destroying the country’s democracy using various means.

The campaign soon fetched enough tweets to become the top trending topic on Twitter India. It soon appeared in the top five trending topics worldwide on the micro-blogging site. By 4:30 pm the campaign had grossed over 3 lakh tweets and was placed fourth in the worldwide trending topics.

Several top national leaders of the party including Rahul Gandhi, Shashi Tharoor, and others took part in the campaign and slammed BJP for trying to systematically destroy the democracy in the country. The users during the campaign also added that the saffron party was using government agencies and “muscle power” to gain power in various states and was toppling elected governments.

The dig was focused more on the recent Rajasthan political crisis where the party alleges the BJP tried to topple the elected government to gain power using money.

Several users also called on media outlets for glorifying horse-trading by terming it as “master-stroke”.

The official twitter handle of Congress posted short videos of several of its leaders asserting how the BJP was involved in destroying the world’s largest democracy.

Here are some of the tweets from the campaign:

New Delhi: An animated video post shared on BJP’s official Instagram handle, asserting that the Congress party would snatch wealth from non-Muslims to ‘distribute it to its favorite community of invaders,’ has sparked significant backlash. Following the uproar, the photo sharing platform has taken down the post, reports Newslaundry.com. 

Meanwhile, it is uncertain whether the post was removed by the BJP or by Instagram following mass reporting by several users as “misinformation” and “hate speech”. The video depicted Rahul Gandhi holding the Congress manifesto which transforms into the logo of the Muslim league. Furthermore, it sought support for PM Modi from every ‘Bharatiya,’ who is also shown wearing a saffron turban.

According to the report, it also contained a clip of PM Modi alleging that the former PM Manmohan Singh had said, “Muslims have the first claim on our resources,” insinuating that if the Congress were to assume power, it would confiscate the money and assets of non-Muslims, redistributing them to Muslims, whom it favored. Labeling Muslims as ‘infiltrators’, the video depicted historical invaders as looters who plundered India's resources and suggested that the Congress party continues to empower individuals from the same community.

The video then communicated that the Congress party’s manifesto is “nothing but Muslim league’s ideology in disguise. If you are a non-Muslim, Congress will snatch your wealth and distribute it to Muslims.” It also slinged the BJP’s official slogan ‘abki baar, 400 paar,’ and called that it was the need of the hour, since Modi only has the “strength to stop the Congress party’s evil plans.”

Similar claims have also been made by several BJP leaders. Recently, Union Minister Anurag Thakur stated that the Congress intends to “Give your children's property to Muslims.”
