In a bizarre incident, the Andhra Pradesh Congress workers fried what they called a "Twitter Bird" to protest against the blocking of Rahul Gandhi's handle by the micro-blogging website.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's account was locked by Twitter earlier last week for allegedly sharing a photograph of the parents of a nine-year-old Dalit girl who was allegedly raped and murdered in the national capital.

The micro-blogging website had also suspended several accounts of Congress leaders for sharing the image.


"You Twitter, you've done a mistake by blocking Rahul Gandhi's twitter account, not promoting our tweets. So, we are frying this [Twitter Bird] and sending it to the headquarters in Gurgaon and Delhi," said a Congress worker reportedly identified as son of former party MP Harsha Kumar.

"Twitter, I hope you'll enjoy your dish," he added.
