The Indian government has escalated its attempts to suppress dissent on social media platforms following the exposure of its misleading propaganda, sources reveal. According to reports, India’s media has consistently violated journalistic standards while promoting the hateful politics and false narratives of Prime Minister Modi.
The Indian government’s frustration grew after the exposure of the Pulwama false flag operation and the subsequent backlash on social media. In response, India issued an executive order instructing the platform X (formerly Twitter) to block over 8,000 accounts, including those of international media organizations and social media activists.

The order from India lacks clarity on the reasons for blocking these accounts or specifying which laws have been violated. X’s administration has expressed concerns about the violation of free speech and confirmed that it is exploring all legal avenues, urging affected users to take legal action.
Political experts argue that the Indian government’s crackdown on these accounts is directly linked to the exposure of its lies and the widespread public reaction to the Pulwama incident. The blocking of these accounts, they say, has laid bare the true face of India’s so-called “democracy,” revealing the government’s growing panic and desperation in the face of increasing scrutiny.
