After a music company filed a copyright action against the Congress for playing a song from the movie KGF-2 at the Bharat Jodo Yatra headed by Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, a court in Bengaluru ordered the temporary shutdown of the party's Twitter account.

A complaint was made against three Congress leaders, including Mr. Gandhi, by M Naveen Kumar, the manager of MRT music, for allegedly violating copyright laws by using music from the hugely successful Kannada film KGF-2 during the Bharat Jodo (unite India) yatra, which travelled through Karnataka last month before moving to neighbouring Telangana.

The Twitter handle for the Bharat Jodo Yatra campaign was also temporarily blocked by the court.
