 said the government’s claim that former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey was lying when he said that pressure was brought upon the microblogging site to block accounts related to farmers’ agitation “was on expected lines".

Dorsey in a recent interview alleged that during his time at Twitter, there were "many requests" from India for holding back information and blocking accounts related to farmers' protests and journalists critical of India. "India is a country that had many requests of us around the farmers' protest, around particular journalists critical of the government. It manifest in ways such as we (govt) will shut Twitter down in India...and raid the homes of Twitter employees, which they did,” Dorsey said.
