Is Centre Gagging Critics? IT Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar Responds To Twitter Claim

Union minister Rajiv Chandrasekhar today said that the Central government's requests to Twitter to take down posts is only a fraction of what comes from other nations, including the US and Germany. The government, he added, is just trying to create some boundaries in an area where none exists.Asked about the issue at the India Global Forum in Dubai, Mr Chandrasekhar, who handles the electronics portfolio, told NDTV that he wants to "correct the myth that we are some great takedown nation".
