World Hindu Congress Seeks Explanation from Meta over Removal of CM Fadnavis Video
The World Hindu Congress 2026 organisers have accused Meta of removing a video featuring Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis appealing to Hindus to attend the event in Mumbai. The video was initially uploaded on October 26 but was restricted and later removed, with Meta citing vague legal requirements. The organisers have approached Mumbai and Delhi Police, as well as the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, seeking clarity and restoration, while raising concerns about possible religious bias in content moderation.
