X a/cs of China's GT, Turkiye's TRT, Reuters withheld
This demand can be a court order, or a request from the Centre that was probably made during Op Sindoor to contain misinformation. At that time, X accounts of Chinese news agency Xinhua had been blocked, but it can now be accessed in India.
Also, the handle of news agency Reuters was withheld on Saturday. A govt spokesperson said, "There is no requirement from GOI to withhold this handle. We are continuously working with X to resolve the problem."

MLA accuses ZPM of funds mismanagement
Aizawl: K Hrahmo, a BJP MLA in Mizoram, on Monday unleashed a scathing attack on the Zoram People's Movement (ZPM) govt, accusing it of failing to secure Centre-funded projects as well as mismanaging the state's finances, reports HC Vanlalruata. Speaking at a political session organised by Mizoram BJP , Hrahmo criticised the govt's inability to implement effective projects, claiming that the few they had executed were classified as 'departmental works', preventing the collection of GST. "From Jan to June 2025, GST collections have continued to decline. A major issue here is the state's inability to secure project funds from the Centre, which has caused a significant financial gap," Hrahmo said.

Congress often takes position that benefits China instead of India: BJP
Congress general secretary, communications, Jairam Ramesh, said Deputy Chief of Army Staff (Capability Development and Sustenance) Lieutenant General Rahul R Singh has publicly confirmed what has been talked about ever since Operation Sindoor was halted abruptly at US President Donald Trump's intervention. This came after the Congress earlier said the Narendra Modi government must agree to a discussion on India-China relations in Parliament so that a consensus can be built for a collective response to the geopolitical and economic challenges that the neighbouring country poses to India, directly and through Pakistan. New Delhi, Jul 4 (PTI) The BJP on Friday hit out at the Congress, alleging that the party has time and again taken positions that benefit China instead of India. 'Lt Gen Singh has revealed some details of the extraordinary ways by which China helped the Pakistan Air Force. This is the same China, which completely destroyed the status quo in Ladakh five years ago but to which Prime Minister Modi gave a public clean chit on June 19, 2020,' Ramesh said in a post on X. Reacting sharply to Ramesh's remarks, BJP IT department head Amit Malviya said if China is using Pakistan to destabilise India, the Congress has only made that job easier by weakening the nation's internal unity and international credibility. 'If China is arming Pakistan and using it as a testing ground for its military hardware, it raises a serious question. Why has the Congress party consistently promoted narratives that weaken India's position against China?' he said in a post on X. India needs leadership that prioritises national interest, protects sovereignty and remains uncompromised in its loyalty to the country, the BJP leader said. Malviya alleged the Congress has time and again taken positions that benefit China instead of India. 'Whether in public statements, foreign interactions or institutional decisions, their approach has been weak, ambiguous and compromised,' he charged. Malviya alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked the Indian government after the clash in Galwan instead of backing the Indian Army and repeated China's false claims. 'His statement that 'China has taken our land' was used by the Chinese state media to justify their aggression,' he said. The BJP leader alleged that during a 'tense standoff' at Doklam in 2017, Gandhi 'quietly' met with the Chinese officials at the Chinese Embassy in Delhi and no 'justification or explanation' was ever given to the people of India. 'When the government took firm action to ban Chinese apps like TikTok and PUBG, the Congress leaders opposed the decision. They called it emotional and reactionary despite clear evidence that these platforms were used to collect the Indian data and strengthen China's digital reach,' Malviya said. 'When the Chinese companies were exposed for funding proxies and engaging in surveillance, the Congress party chose to remain silent. Their close links with these interests raise serious concerns,' he added. Malviya alleged that Rahul Gandhi and the Congress signed a 'secret' memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Chinese Communist Party in Beijing in 2018. The contents of this agreement have never been disclosed to the people of India, he said, asking the Congress, 'What was agreed upon and why the secrecy?' The BJP leader alleged that the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, 'controlled by the Gandhi family', received donations from the Chinese government and its embassy. 'This is a direct conflict of interest and poses a threat to India's national security,' he said. PTI PK AS AS This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
