Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday took to Twitter to attack the media for not reporting on the alleged cases of sedition against a range of tribals fighting state oppression in BJP- ruled Jharkhand.

Jharkhand goes to polls in five phases from November 30 to December 20.

Gandhi tagged a new report on the matter and tweeted, “That any Govt. could slam the draconian “sedition” law on 10,000 Adivasis, fighting against state oppression, should have shocked the conscience of our nation & raised a media storm. But it hasn’t. Our “sold out” media may have lost its voice; as citizens can we afford to?”

Gandhi was abroad for many days before recently returning to India. While he was gone, the government withdrew his SPG cover.
