Senior Congress leader attacked the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) claiming, "BJP is afraid of the voices of dissent." This comes after the notification of the Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to set out a new rule to the Press and Information Bureau (PIB) for "fact-checking" the information on social media like Instagram, Facebook, telegram, and Twitter. The centre inclines to "fact-check" the false, misleading, illogical fallacies, and untrue information preserving peace in the country. On the contrary, the opposition slammed the centre and the BJP and tag it as "censorship" and a manner to tarnish democracy and suppress the freedom of individuals.
