3:59Now PlayingIndia has termed an 'outright lie', claims by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey that Delhi had threated to shut it down in India unless it complied with its orders. Speaking to a Youtube channel, Dorsey said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government wanted accounts criticial of the government's handling of the Farmers' Protests in 2021 restricted.
Dorsey who left as CEO in 2021 was speaking to the Breaking Points channel on Youtube, when he said "India for example, India is a country that had many requests of us around the farmers' protests, around particular journalists that were critical of the government. And it manifested in ways such as, we will shut Twitter down in India - which is a very large market for us - we will raid the homes of your employees - which they did - we will shut down your offices if you don't follow suit. And this is India, a democratic country. "
