Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has hit out at microblogging site Twitter for temporarily blocking his account and said that the company is interfering with India’s political process and it is an attack on the democratic structure.

In a video statement, Rahul Gandhi said on Friday, “By shutting down my Twitter, they are interfering with our political process. A company is making it its business to define our politics. And as a politician, I don't like that.”

“This is an attack on the democratic structure of the country. This is not an attack on Rahul Gandhi. This is not simply shutting Rahul Gandhi down. I have 19-20 million followers. You are denying them the right to an opinion,” said Rahul Gandhi while attacking Twitter.
