AAP Punjab Government Faces Criticism Over Use of Copyright Claims Against Critics
Reports indicate that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Punjab has used copyright claims to remove Facebook pages critical of its administration, including those run by journalists. A detailed investigation found that since late 2025, multiple videos and posts were targeted with copyright strikes, leading to page removals. Congress leaders have criticized AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal for adopting tactics similar to those they attribute to the BJP, alleging suppression of dissent despite AAP's public commitment to press freedom and transparency.
