Anantkumar Hegde says his Twitter account blocked

Former Union minister and controversial BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde on Sunday said his Twitter account has been blocked and accused the microblogging site of taking an ‘anti-India stand’ and acting “with very prejudiced intentions.”

The MP from Uttara Kannada has also written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi against the ‘Digital colonisation’ by a corporate entity.

Hegde, in a Facebook post on Sunday, said he took offence against a Khalistan supporter and the ‘hidden agenda of the Tablighi Jamaat movement within India’

He said he had written to the Prime Minister and Home Minister Amit Shah on April 20 against Gurupatwant Singh Pannun advocating independence of Punjab through the formation of Khalistan.
