Kejriwal claims Instagram account restricted in India, tells Meta to not 'bow down to PM Modi so much'
Arvind Kejriwal told Meta that lack of responses and clarification from their end amounted to “pretty bad service”.
Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal accused Instagram parent company Meta of restricting his account in India, stating the platform was unavailable in the country and refusing to provide reasons for the restriction or how to remedy it. Kejriwal demanded an explanation from Meta's India office, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of response.
His account remained accessible in India with no content removed or features limited, according to a screenshot he shared. Kejriwal also criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging Meta not to "bow down" to him excessively. This comes a day after Meta's chief global officer Joel Kaplan apologized to Indian Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for a brief five-hour restriction on PM Modi's video message on Facebook.
