Immediately after AltNews co-founder Mohammad Zubair was arrested, parliamentary leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday that arresting one true voice would only add another 1,000.
Mr Zveil was arrested by Delhi police on Monday for hurting religious sentiment through one of his tweets, officials said.
Gandhi argued that anyone who exposed BJP’s hatred and prejudice was a threat to the party, saying the truth would win.
“Everyone who exposes BJP’s hatred, prejudice, and lies is a threat to them. Arresting one true voice will only add another 1,000,” he said on Twitter.
“The truth always overcomes tyranny,” said the former Speaker of Parliament using the hashtag “#DaroMat.”
