What is the reality of the viral picture of Rahul Gandhi meeting Twitter founder Jack Dorsey? read fact-check

Twitter founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has become a topic of discussion in India due to one of his recent interviews. He has claimed in the interview that during the farmer’s movement, the Government of India had threatened him to shut down Twitter.

A picture of former Congress President Rahul Gandhi with Jack Dorsey is going viral on social media. Users are claiming that this is foreign propaganda by Rahul Gandhi to bring down India. It may be noted that recently Rahul Gandhi has also visited America.

BJP spokesperson and national media in-charge of OBC Morcha, Ajay Sehrawat, re tweeting Congress’s tweet, shared a picture and the same part of Jack Dorsey’s interview. He has written, “Only a child born of a foreign mother can take the help of foreign propaganda to humiliate the country. Whenever Mr. Rahul Nehru Gandhi goes to visit abroad, he comes with some issue or some other agenda. Everything is going according to the toolkit, isn’t it @INCIndia people??”

In fact, the official Twitter account of the Congress tweeted the video of the press conference conducted by spokesperson Supriya Shrinate, “Twitter’s founder and former CEO Jack Dorsey has revealed that the Modi government threatened him – if the farmer’s movement was shown. There will be raids on the offices and houses of the employees. Twitter will be banned in India. When the farmers of the country were fighting for their rights, PM Modi was suppressing their voice. : @SupriyaShrinate ji

Like BJP spokesperson Ajay Sehrawat, other social media users have also shared the picture of Rahul-Dorsey with the same claim.
