BJP warns Twitter of repercussions after its officials decline to appear before parliamentary panel

PTI, NEW DELHI: The BJP Saturday warned Twitter of “repercussions” after the social network company’s CEO and top officials declined to appear before the parliamentary committee on information technology, saying no agency has the right to disrespect institutions of the country.
The parliamentary panel had summoned Twitter CEO and officials over the issue of safeguarding citizens’ rights on social media platforms.
“In any country, no agency has the right to disrespect the institutions of that country. In this situation, if Twitter is disrespecting the established institution of Parliament, then there are repercussions,” BJP spokesperson and New Delhi MP Meenakshi Lekhi told reporters.
