The Ministry of Electronics and IT has directed Twitter to block around 250 tweets and Twitter accounts which were spreading fake, intimidatory and provocative tweets on January 30. The step was taken on the request of MHA and law enforcement agencies to prevent any escalation of law and order in view of the on-going farmer agitation. The Twitter accounts were using #ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide hashtag to spread misinformation.
