IT Ministry Issues Stern Warning To Twitter, Calls Its Act Of Showing J&K As Part Of China - Unlawful

The Secretary, Ministry of Electronics and IT Ajay Sawhney has written a stern letter to CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey conveying the strong disapproval of the Government of India over the social-media platform showing Jammu and Kashmir as part of China.

In the letter Sawhney reminds Dorsey and Twitter that Leh is the headquarter of Union Territory of Ladakh and both Ladakh as well as Jammu and Kashmir are integral and inalienable parts of India governed by the Constitution of India.

Sawhney also mentioned that such attempts not only brings disrepute to Twitter but also raises questions about its neutrality and fairness as an intermediary.
