The social media head Amit Malviya issued a statement defending the prime minister, calling him a rare leader who didn't curb freedom of speech The BJP today dismissed as "farcical
and fake" the row over Prime Minister Narendra Modi following some twitter users accused of making objectionable comments over journalist Gauri Lankesh's murder, and and said it
shows selective approach to right to freedom of expression. In a statement, BJP's IT department head Amit Malviya termed the row a one-way street, saying opposition leaders like
Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi or AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal are "never questioned" for behaviour of their followers. Modi following a person is not a "character
certificate" of a person and is not in anyway a guarantee of how a person would conduct himself. "He is a rare leader who truly believes in freedom of speech and has never blocked
or unfollowed anyone on Twitter. We have multiple examples of leaders curbing free speech on social media, including the previous PMO handle," he said. The PM still follows Parthesh
Patel, "a former BJP volunteer who joined the Congress and abused the PM in the worst possible language," he said. > The controversy over PM following people on Twitter is
mischievous > and contorted: Shri @malviyamit, National Head - Information & > Technology pic.twitter.com/8Ss6fgCOj2 > — BJP (@BJP4India) September 7, 2017 The controversy is
"mischievous and contorted", he said, adding that Modi is the only leader who freely engages with people on social media platforms. "Rahul is never questioned for the abuse by
Tehseen Poonawala, who also happens to be his relative. "Kejriwal is never questioned for the abuse and rape threats his supporters shower on others. Thus, this debate is not only
farcical and fake, but also an exhibit of selective right to freedom of expression," he said in a statement. Modi, Malviya said, also follows Rahul Gandhi, who is an "accused in
loot and fraud" and also follows Kejriwal, who "abused" him on Twitter and "told a woman 'settle kar lo' when she complained of a party member molesting
her". Malviya said Modi follows "normal people" and frequently interacts with them on various issues. Some twitter users had yesterday posted abusive comments targeting the
slain journalist. The prime minister was criticised for allegedly following some of them on Twitter from his personal handle.
