IT min blocks Jharkhand Cong’s social media account over Shah's doctored video
Hindustan TimesThe ministry of electronics and information technology issued an emergency blocking order against Jharkhand Congress’s official X account on Wednesday, a first for the social media account of an official national party in India under the provision, and that too in the midst of the general elections. HT could not determine if the blocking order was issued against any other accounts and tweets, but has learnt that this blocking order was issued because the handle had tweeted the viral doctored clip of home minister Amit Shah’s campaign speech over which at least one FIR has been filed in Delhi. The official Twitter handle of Jharkhand Congress tweeted the doctored clip of Shah’s campaign speech on April 28 with this text in Hindi, “Breaking. Amit Shah’s campaign speech quickly went viral in which he is saying that if the BJP forms the government again, then OBC and SC/ST reservation will be ended.” As of Wednesday night, the post had 81,900 views, 483 reposts/retweets, 72 quote tweets, 885 likes and 18 bookmarks.
