Kejriwal says social media account restricted in India, seeks explanation from Meta
Mr. Kejriwal also shared a screenshot of his account status page showing the message, "Unavailable in some locations".
AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal expressed concern on Thursday (August 6, 2026) after discovering that his social media account has been restricted in India. In a post on X, Kejriwal sought clarification from Meta, the parent company of social media platform Facebook. According to a report from <source 94c02365-0fa>, inquiry at Meta's India office revealed that his account was indeed restricted and unavailable in the country.
However, Kejriwal was disappointed that the company officials did not provide any reason for the restriction or explain the process to restore access. He highlighted the lack of communication from Meta and emphasized that the company should not bow down to political figures, otherwise it risks becoming a platform that caters only to the personal account of the Prime Minister.
