'Wrong, If True': Arvind Kejriwal on Twitter Ex-CEO's Farm Protest Claim
NDTV
The Delhi Chief Minister said it is wrong if someone tried to scuttle the farmers' protests.
It is "wrong" if attempts were made to scuttle farmers' protests, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today, after Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey alleged the government threatened to stop the company's India operations if posts critical of the ruling dispensation during the agitation were not removed.
In an interview, Mr Dorsey alleged that during the farmers' protest the government also threatened to raid the homes of Twitter employees if the company didn't listen to what was being told.
"It is unfair... if someone tried to scuttle the farmers' protests, it is wrong," Mr Kejriwal said on the sidelines of an event here.
Mr Dorsey's statement evoked a sharp rebuttal from Union Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar who termed it an "outright lie". The Minister of State for IT tweeted that Mr Dorsey's Twitter regime "had a problem accepting the sovereignty of Indian law".
