250 Twitter Handles Blocked For Inciting Posts On Farmers' Protest

To maintain the status quo in the country, nearly 250 Twitter accounts, including magazine Caravan's, were blocked on February 1 for spreading fake posts and instigating farmers' protest. Reportedly, the Home Ministry has sent orders to block the accounts that had used the #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide while tweeting. Reportedly, a message "Your account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand" would be displayed on the blocked accounts.
