Just days after Congress party president Rahul Gandhi tweeted in support of freedom of expression over the mention of Rajiv Gandhi in the web series Sacred Games, the West Bengal Pradesh Congress Committee member, Rajeev Sinha, withdrew his police complaint against the Netflix series.

Sinha, who had filed a police complaint stating that the series used derogatory language and insulted the former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, withdrew his complaint on Monday. Rahul Gandhi had tweeted on Saturday stating that, “BJP/RSS believe the freedom of expression must be policed & controlled. I believe this freedom is a fundamental democratic right. My father lived and died in the service of India. The views of a character on a fictional web series can never change that. # SacredGames”
