However, a spokesman for the Indian government clarified that no such legal request had been made to block Reuters’ accounts.

The spokesman added that the government is currently working with X to resolve the issue.

“The Indian government has not asked to retain Reuters, we have been resolving the issue with X,” the spokesperson said.
