BJP says Congress’ X accounts running from Pak, US; shares screenshots
In a stunning revelation, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed that several Congress accounts on the social media platform X are operating from foreign countries, including Pakistan and the United States. The BJP has cited the new location-tracking feature on X, which allows users to see the location from where an account is being operated. The party has shared screenshots of several Congress accounts, including the official Congress Maharashtra account and the account of Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, which allegedly show that they are being run from outside India.
According to the BJP, the location-tracking feature on X has exposed the “true face” of the Congress party, which has been accused of spreading anti-India narratives from foreign soil. The party has alleged that foreign actors are meddling in India’s internal affairs by operating Congress accounts from countries such as Pakistan, UAE, Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, and North America.
The BJP has shared several screenshots on X, which appear to show the location of various Congress accounts. One of the screenshots allegedly shows the Congress Maharashtra account being operated from Ireland, while another screenshot appears to show Pawan Khera’s account being run from the United States.
“From Pakistan, UAE, Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, to even North America, foreign actors are meddling in our internal affairs,” the BJP said in a statement on X. “The Congress party has been exposed for spreading anti-India narratives from foreign soil. The location-tracking feature on X has revealed the true face of the Congress party, which has been hiding behind fake accounts and fake narratives.”
The BJP has demanded an explanation from the Congress party over the alleged operation of its accounts from foreign countries. The party has also asked the Election Commission of India to take action against the Congress party for allegedly violating Indian laws and regulations.
The Congress party has not yet responded to the allegations made by the BJP. However, the party is likely to face intense scrutiny over the allegations, which could potentially damage its reputation and credibility.
The use of social media platforms by political parties has become increasingly important in recent years, with many parties using these platforms to reach out to voters and spread their message. However, the use of fake accounts and foreign actors to influence Indian politics has become a major concern, with many experts warning that it could potentially undermine the integrity of India’s democratic process.
The BJP’s allegations against the Congress party are likely to reignite the debate over the use of social media platforms in Indian politics and the need for greater transparency and accountability. The government has already taken steps to regulate social media platforms, including the introduction of new rules that require platforms to disclose the origin of content and to remove fake accounts.
In the meantime, the BJP’s allegations against the Congress party are likely to dominate the headlines, with many Indians taking to social media to express their outrage and concern over the alleged operation of Congress accounts from foreign countries.
As the debate over the use of social media platforms in Indian politics continues to rage, one thing is clear: the importance of transparency and accountability in online political discourse cannot be overstated. With the rise of fake news and disinformation, it is more important than ever that political parties and social media platforms take steps to ensure that online discourse is honest, transparent, and free from foreign interference.
The BJP’s allegations against the Congress party are a timely reminder of the need for greater vigilance and scrutiny in online political discourse. As Indians, we must remain vigilant and demand greater transparency and accountability from our political leaders and social media platforms.
