At the same time, journalist Shyam Meera Singh, who was fired from India Today for tweeting against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has also put India Today Group in the dock.
It is worth mentioning that Rahul Gandhi had recently attended the Mahila Congress convention. Here he said that, you just saw the photo of Gandhiji. You will see 3-4 women with Gandhiji. Correct. Have you seen any woman’s photo with Mohan Bhagwat? Have you ever seen? can not happen. Shiv Aroor tweeted only this part of the video with an emoji. In the same video tweeted by Shiv Aroor, Rahul Gandhi says – “Because his organization suppresses women power. crushes them. Our organization gives a platform to women power.
