Government of India respects the Right of Privacy and has no intention to violate it when WhatsApp is required to disclose the origin of a particular message: Ministry of Electronics and IT
Such requirements are only in case when a particular message is required for prevention, investigation or punishment of serious offences such as sexually explicit content: Ministry of Electronics and IT
At one end, WhatsApp seeks to mandate a privacy policy wherein it will share data of all its user with its parent company, Facebook. On other hand, WhatsApp makes every effort to refuse enactment of Intermediary Guidelines necessary to uphold law & order & curb fake news: MeitY
Any operations being run in India are subject to the law of the land. WhatsApp’s refusal to comply with the guidelines is a clear act of defiance of a measure whose intent can certainly not be doubted: MeitY
As a significant social media intermediary, WhatsApp seeks safe harbour protection as per provisions of the IT Act. However, in a befuddling act, they seek to avoid
responsibility and refuse to enact the very steps which permit them a safe harbour provision: MeitY
WhatsApp’s attempt to portray Intermediary Guidelines of India as contrary to Right to privacy is misguided. Contrarily in India, privacy is a fundamental right subject to reasonable restrictions. Rule 4(2) (to trace first originator) is example of such a restriction: MeitY

We have come across press reports that quote Twitter Inc. statements pertaining to the ongoing inquiry by us. Prima facie, these statements are not only mendacious but designed to impede a lawful inquiry by a private enterprise: Delhi Police
Twitter, being public platform, must lead in demonstrating transparency in its functioning & should bring clarity into subject matters of public domain. Since matter has been put in public domain, it's important to set record straight on tendentious statements made: Delhi Police
Twitter is purporting to be both an investigating as well as adjudicating judicial authority. It has no legal sanction to be either. The only legal entity, so empowered by the duly laid down law, to investigate is the Police and to adjudicate is the Courts: Delhi Police

Several myths on India’s #COVID19 vaccination program are doing the rounds. These myths are arising due to distorted statements, half-truths & blatant lies. Member (Health) in NITI Aayog Dr Vinod Paul addresses these myths and gives out facts on all these issues: NITI Aayog ImageImage
Myth: Centre hasn't approved vaccines available globally

Fact: Centre has proactively eased entry of vaccines approved by US FDA, EMA, UK's MHRA, Japan's PMDA & WHO's Emergency Use Listing into India in April. These won't need to undergo prior bridging trials - NITI Aayog (1/7)
The provision has now been further amended to waive off the trial requirement altogether for the well-established vaccines manufactured in other countries. No application of any foreign manufacturer for approval is pending with the drugs controller: NITI Aayog (2/7)

There's no vaccine in Delhi; for 4 days vaccination centres for the 18-44 age group are shut & not just here but across India, several centres are shut. Today when we should have opened new centres, but now we are also shutting the existing ones, which is not good: Delhi CM
As per my knowledge, no state govt has been able to procure a single dose of vaccine till now. Vaccine companies have denied speaking to the state governments: Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal
This is the time to unite and work for both State and Centre, and not work separately. We need to work as Team India. It's the Centre's responsibility to provide vaccine, not States. If we delay it more, don't know how many more lives will be lost: Delhi CM
