X accounts of Chinese and Turkish government media restored in India, were suspended after Operation Sindoor
X Accounts: The Government of India has lifted the ban on the X accounts of the Chinese news agency Global Times and Turkey's TRT World. The Indian government had taken this action on the charge of spreading false information related to Operation Sindoor.
The Indian government has reinstated access to the Chinese government media outlet Global Times' and Turkish TRT World's X (formerly Twitter) accounts. Both accounts had been suspended in India from the early hours of Wednesday. It is surmised that the access was suspended as Pakistan used Turkish drones in Indian airspace, and misleading information began being circulated post-Operation Sindoor.
On Wednesday, users on the X accounts of China's Global Times and Xinhua News Agency were seeing "This account has been blocked in response to a legal request in India". The same message was also seen on the account of Turkey's state broadcaster TRT World.
According to Amar Ujala sources, the ban was imposed at a time when these accounts were spreading misleading and false information about India's military action after Pakistan's drone intrusion into the Indian border and India's 'Operation Sindoor'.
