Action on different handles

The government has said that all these platforms are spreading misconceptions about India and the issues in India. Information and Broadcasting Department’s Joint Secretary Vikram Sathe told that action will be taken against them.

Hatred towards India was spreading from Pakistan

A common denominator is found across all the social media handles that have been processed. That is, all these handles were being operated from Pakistan. Its content was being made from Pakistan and was being spread in India. The Information and Broadcasting Department had received complaints that they were continuously spreading misunderstandings against India, spreading false news that did not happen and posting messages that fueled religious hatred. Sathe has said that the Pakistan connection of all these accounts came to the fore after their verification.
