“We are not saying that Twitter is threatening the country or any such thing; why we have taken this measure is to stop them to be used as platforms for destabilisation and facilitation of criminality or encouragement of criminalities,” the minister stated.

The Federal Government had earlier invited the envoys of the EU, US, UK, and others following their criticism of the Twitter ban.
