Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Saturday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the Sino-India border standoff, charging him with being 'scared' of the eastern neighbour. Before the stand-off at eastern Ladakh, where the disengagement process has been completed with the withdrawal of troops, weapons and other military hardware from the North and South banks of Pangong lake areas, the Chinese "tested the idea in Dokhlam (in 2017)," he said. "Essentially the Chinese occupied certain strategic areas in our country. They first tested the idea in Doklam. They tested the idea to see how would India react and they noticed India did not react. And then they carried out the idea again in Ladakh and also I believe in Arunachal Pradesh," he said. Launching his three-day tour of Tamil Nadu ahead of the April 6 assembly polls, the Congress leader, while interacting with advocates, reiterated his "hum do hamare do" jibe at the ruling dispensation at ... » Learn More about Chinese know PM is scared: Rahul on Sino-India standoff

New Delhi: A stalemate between Twitter and the government over so-called ‘Pakistani-Khalistani’ handles allegedly spreading misinformation about farmer protests may come to an end soon as the microblogging platform has removed almost half the accounts and tweets it was ordered to block, officials said. “We can see that the company has started to take action,” a senior government official told ET. Out of 257 Twitter URLs (uniform resource locators), or accounts, related to the hashtag ‘farmer genocide’ that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) had asked Twitter to block on January 31, 126 aren't working, officials familiar with the matter said. Out of the second list of 1,178 Twitter accounts flagged by security agencies as those of Khalistan sympathisers or backed by Pakistan, which the government asked Twitter to remove on February 4, 583 are no longer working, they said.

NEW DELHI: With the Government warning Twitter for not complying with its orders to take down certain content and that it needs to obey local laws, several leading politicians and lawmakers have started rallying against the micro-blogging platform and urged their followers to switch to the home-grown Koo App - an Indian rival to Twitter. All this began after the government ordered Twitter to remove more than 1,100 accounts and posts that it alleges are spreading misinformation about the widespread protests by the farmers against new agricultural laws. Twitter has irked Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government after it said in a blog post ton Wednesday that it had not fully complied with the government’s order because it believed some of the take-down orders were not consistent with the local law. "In keeping with our principles of defending protected speech and freedom of expression, we have not taken any action on accounts that consist of news media entities, ... » Learn More about Amid government-Twitter standoff over content, lawmakers urge followers to switch to Koo

Koo, which works on similar lines as Twitter, was born with a focus on regional language, unlike Twitter and Facebook, which are very popular but primarily cater to an English-speaking audience, reports Neha Alawadhi. Even as a resolution is yet to be arrived at between the Indian government and Twitter over tweets allegedly promoting genocide, several ministers on Tuesday tweeted that they were moving to a “made in India” microblogging platform, Koo. During the day, Minister of Railways, Commerce and Industry Piyush Goyal tweeted, “I am now on Koo. Connect with me on this Indian micro-blogging platform for real-time, exciting and exclusive updates. Let us exchange our thoughts and ideas on Koo.” Shortly after, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan also tweeted that he was moving to Koo. “Koo App” was a top Twitter trend in India after these tweets. The ministry of electronics and information technology, minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Press ... » Learn More about Amid Twitter standoff, Union ministers shifting to Koo
