NEW DELHI: Congress President Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday came out in support of Prashant Kanojia and other journalists arrested by Uttar Pradesh Police on alleged defamatory posts on the social media.

In a tweet, he said: "The UP CM (Yogi Adityanath) is behaving foolishly & needs to release the arrested journalists."

His reasoning is still more interesting. He tweets: "If every journalist who files a false report or peddles fake, vicious RSS/BJP sponsored propaganda about me is put in jail, most newspapers/news channels would face a severe staff shortage."
