Social media claims suggesting that the Indian government restricted certain posts by Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, were debunked as sources confirmed that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) did not take any such action. It was revealed that the restriction was due to an internal error on the platform, which has since been rectified.
Reports surfaced alleging that Instagram had blocked Rahul Gandhi’s content, including reels and images from the swearing-in ceremony of Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) chief C. Joseph Vijay as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu. Meta, the parent company of Instagram, did not provide a specific reason for the temporary inaccessibility of his account, which was later resolved.
During his visit to Chennai for the swearing-in ceremony, Rahul Gandhi was greeted by senior Congress leaders and TVK members amidst tight security. The event marked a significant political transition in Tamil Nadu, with Vijay assuming office as Chief Minister following the alliance’s victory in the state assembly elections.
