India has yet again responded to the claims that it had ordered the blocking of Reuters accounts on social media X, accusing the social media platform of twisting facts and delaying the process of unblocking the news agency’s handles despite constant follow-ups from the Indian government.
Official Spokesperson, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology says, “The Government has not issued any fresh blocking order on 3rd July, 2025 and has no intention to block any prominent international News Channels including Reuters and Reuters World. The moment Reuters and Reuters World were blocked on X platform in India, immediately the government wrote to ‘X’ to unblock them. The Government continuously engaged and vigorously pursued with ‘X’ from the late night of 5th July 2025. ‘X’ has unnecessarily exploited technicalities involved around the process and didn’t unblock the URLs. However, after lot of follow-up on hourly basis, X has finally unblocked Reuters and other URLs after 9 pm on 6th July 2025. They took more than 21 hours to unblock Reuters.”
