Even as there is an open rebellion in the party in Rajasthan, with state Deputy Chief Minister Sachin Pilot claiming that the Ashok Gehlot government is in minority and that he has the support of over 30 MLAs in the 200-member assembly, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who stayed silent over the proceedings, spoke up.
In a series of tweets, the Congress leader accused the media of spreading a hate-filled narrative. He claimed that a large part of the news media has been captured by fascist interests, and added that this narrative is tearing India apart.
“Today a large part of the Indian news media has been captured by fascist interests. A hate filled narrative is being spread by television channels, whatsapp forwards and false news. This narrative of lies is tearing India apart,” the Congress leader wrote.

Further, he said he said from Tuesday, he will be sharing his thoughts on “current affairs and history and crisis” through video messages.
“I want to make our current affairs, history and crisis clear and accessible for those interested in the truth. From tomorrow, I’ll be sharing my thoughts with you on video,” he tweeted.

Earlier, in a tweet on the Ladakh crisis, the Congress leader had claimed that the media in the country is “muzzled and terrified.” “The media is muzzled and terrified. The truth seems dormant. But it flows in the blood of every single Indian army officer and soldier. They know exactly what is happening in Ladakh.”
