Microblogging Website created a new controversy when it blocked the Twitter handle of   @milinddeora instead of imposter @milindeora. Milind Deora is the minister of state for communications and IT.
News channel CNN-IBN News@ibnlive posted the news on twitter. “Milind Deora says his Twitter account has gone for verification, but normally verification doesn’t lead to a temporary suspension.”
However, the incident led to many who are upset at the crackdown on social media taking pot shots at the government.
PM Ban Mohan Singh@India_Review tweeted: “They told Twitter to block impostor account @milindeora and screwed up in the spelling and made it @milinddeora”
In reply Akanksha Patankar@Ground_Reality posted: “Lol! Mother of all goof-ups! ”
Swarup@SwarupPhD, wrote: “Haa haa, hunter becomes hunted. #CorruptCongress minister Milind Deora’s Twitter account suspended.”
The government had asked internet service providers (ISPs) to block/disable 300 web pages such as news articles, blogposts and Twitter accounts, including that of two journalists, from Aug 18 to 21.
