Party source said the account was locked due to a tweet condemning the blocking of Rahul Gandhi's account.

Dotasra tweeted, saying there is an undeclared emergency-like situation in the country.

“The BJP's fascist government has given up democratic values. But remember, you will not be able to crush the fight for truth and justice by closing Twitter accounts of Rahul Gandhi and thousands of Congress leaders and workers,” he tweeted.
