The Indian government has formally summoned representatives from Meta to explain the circumstances surrounding the temporary removal of a post made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The incident, which saw the Prime Minister's content briefly taken down from the platform, triggered an immediate response from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

Meta has since restored the post and provided a formal apology for the error. However, the Ministry has indicated that the company's explanation for why the post was removed remains insufficient. The government is seeking further clarity on the technical or policy-related triggers that led to the removal of a high-profile official account's content. While Meta has acknowledged the mistake, the government's decision to summon leadership suggests a broader concern regarding the platform's content moderation algorithms and their impact on official communications in India. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the Indian government and major social media platforms regarding regulatory compliance and the handling of sensitive political content.
