PM Modi Facebook Post Removal: The Central government has expressed dissatisfaction with Meta's explanation for the temporary removal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post, signalling that the issue remains under active consideration despite the social media giant restoring the content.
According to government sources, Meta's clarification failed to adequately address the concerns raised by the Centre. Officials indicated that the matter is still being examined and that further discussions with the company are expected.
Govt Rejects Meta's Clarification
Sources said the government's response to Meta's explanation has been far from positive. While the company has offered an account of how the incident occurred, officials believe the explanation does not sufficiently clarify the circumstances surrounding the removal of the Prime Minister's post.
Government sources said the issue is still open and will be discussed in greater detail before any conclusion is reached.

Despite the restoration of the post, the Centre has made it clear that it does not consider the issue resolved.
Officials said the government's concerns extend beyond the restoration itself, adding that discussions with Meta will continue as it seeks a more satisfactory explanation from the company.
The latest development suggests that the Centre will continue engaging with Meta over the incident, with government sources reiterating that the matter is "not yet closed."
