Cockroach Janata Party founder Abhijeet Dipke has alleged that the central government has launched a crackdown on anti-government posts on social media platform Instagram.
The CJP leaders’ allegation of censorship came amid complaints from several critics of the government who reported that posts were being blocked.
The reasons behind those questions exist far beyond social media, and taking down accounts won’t make them disappear,” Dipke stated. The CJP leaders’ allegation of censorship came amid complaints from several critics of the government who reported that posts were being blocked. In a post on Wednesday morning, Dipke alleged that the government is forcing a takedown of thousands of critical posts every day.
“The Instagram crackdown is not going to work! The government is taking down thousands of posts and accounts every day, but it seems to be missing a fundamental point. Instagram is just a platform where people are raising their questions. “If anything, this censorship risks creating even more distrust among the very people the government is supposed to answer to. Satirist and lyricist Varun Grover complained that a post on one of his poems was taken down by Instagram.
The post in question was a satirical poem penned by Grover on the government’s 2047 Viksit Bharat promise.
He also warned the government that “censorship” will only fuel more distrust.
