While a spokesperson for the IT ministry said that there was no requirement from the government to withhold these accounts and that they were “continuously working with X to resolve the problem”, a senior official at the ministry said that the Reuters handle was among the accounts the government had asked the social media platform to block during Operation Sindoor.
