Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, June 11, took a jibe at the recent arrest of a journalist for posting objectionable content on social media about Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath. Gandhi in his tweet wrote, “If every journalist who files a false report or peddles fake, vicious RSS/BJP sponsored propaganda about me is put in jail, most newspapers/ news channels would face a severe staff shortage.”
Saying that the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister is “behaving foolishly”, Gandhi added that he “needs to release the arrested journalists”.
