The Indian government accused Twitter Inc of attempting to “dictate terms to the world’s largest democracy” and “defame India to hide their own follies”, escalating their dispute after the social network accused officials of intimidation.

Earlier this week, police officers visited Twitter’s New Delhi premises – vacated since March 2020 due to the pandemic – to deliver a notice in the inquiry pertaining to the labeling of posts by senior members of India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party or BJP.
