Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal has alleged that Meta restricted his Instagram account in India and gave no explanation, Times Now reports. In a video and posts on X, he said the platform sent a notice saying the account was suppressed, while his calls and emails produced no substantive response beyond routine acknowledgements. Kejriwal accused Meta of facing pressure from the Modi government and suppressing accounts that raise issues such as examination leaks and E20-blended petrol. He urged others facing similar restrictions to contact him. Times Now reports that Meta had not immediately responded to the allegations. The reports do not provide independent evidence of government pressure or say how many accounts were affected.
