Kejriwal Criticizes Modi Government's New Social Media Content Removal Rules
Arvind Kejriwal, Aam Aadmi Party leader, criticized the Modi government's new social media rules requiring platforms to remove flagged content within three hours. He alleged these rules aim to suppress criticism and silence opposition, especially following recent youth protests. Kejriwal claimed the law would be selectively enforced against posts on issues like exam paper leaks and corruption, while abusive content from pro-government sources remains unchecked. He argued that silencing public voices would increase resentment rather than resolve challenges.
