We condemn the decision, says Ashwini Vaishnaw on Twitter firings

In the first official response to the mass sacking of Twitter employees in the country, Communications, Electronics & Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has condemned the decision, and has said that the sacked employees should have been given enough time to transition to a new endeavour.

Asked about the lay offs, Vaishnaw said, “We condemn the way Twitter has sacked employees in India. They should have given the employees a fair time for transition.”

The minister’s statement came after Twitter, which has been taken over by Elon Musk, decided to sack half of its 7,500 employees around the world.
