Smriti Irani, the government's Textile Minister, was responding to the allegations made by TMC spokesperson Derek O' Brien, who had said that "26 Twitter handles that give out rape threats, communal threats are followed by the Prime Minister of India... Two of these handles have been suspended by Twitter."
He even claimed: "They are paid handles... They are invited now to the Prime Minister's house for a nice social digital media party," referring to a party that the PM had hosted two years ago for 150 'social media influencers'.
