The Congress’s new social media avatar is clearly swinging into action. In a short span of time, Times Now put out a tweet, deleted the tweet, and, incredibly, acknowledged its error – all after a battalion of Congress leaders had it out on social media.
The context was a Times Now tweet alleging a Congress leader, one Ashwani Handa, had “backed” a call by the Muttahida Majlis-e-Ulema seeking a ban on Hindu hymns in classrooms. Unfortunately, for Times Now, Handa is apparently not a “primary member” of the Congress but belongs to a party helmed by Ghulam Nabi Azad, who quit the Congress a month ago and started his own outfit.
