‘Stop beating around the bush, comply with laws of the land’: Govt tells Twitter

The Centre on Thursday lashed out at micro-blogging website Twitter, saying its statement on the country’s new IT rules is an attempt to dictate its terms to the world’s largest democracy. The statement has been posted on Koo, the India-made social media platform, which gained traction earlier this year after the long-standing spat between the Centre on Twitter started around January-February.

The government said that the unfortunate statement issued by Twitter is totally baseless, false and an attempt to defame India to hide their own follies. It asked Twitter to “stop beating around the bush and comply with the laws of the land”.
