The MDC Alliance (MDC A) has been blasted for spreading false information on social media that its Members of Parliament are being abducted.

On its Twitter handle, the MDC A posted that, “Plot to eliminate MDC MPs thickens as Harare North legislator, Hon Rusty Markham is picked up by police this afternoon. This raises the figure to six legislators from the MDC behind bars.”

In response to that, a netizen only identified as @martis argued that, “The world over, police are the right people to pick up, question or detain suspects, Rule of Law 101, how is that elimination? Share some elimination V11s so we understand you better.”

Weighing in, Dereki Makarau said that “why anyone in their right mind would want to eliminate minority MDC MPs who are literally dodos in parliament and hence being ineffectual on policy direction, I wonder.”

“How does a teacher who led the Mutare to Harare march in what was purported to be a march for better wages for teachers be a part of the gang ordering shutting down of shops and harassment of peaceful citizens at Arcturus, whose interests is he serving?

“It’s not a plot at all; Information is dished out by those nabbed. Handiti ndivo ma ring leaders the violent demonstration yenyu here. Your trained people shooters in security uniforms some of them vakabatwa meaning all your information is public,” said Kurima Mari.
