Maktoob Media, a digital news outlet known for its independent journalism, said on Thursday that its X (formerly Twitter) account has been withheld in India after a legal demand from the government.
The editorial team said they do not know why this action was taken and called it an attack on press freedom.
“We have no knowledge of the reason for the government’s arbitrary action. It is an assault on press freedom,” the team said in a statement shared on other platforms.
Maktoob Media said it will continue reporting “at a time when truth is becoming a casualty.”
The outlet asked its readers and supporters to share links from its website so that people can still read their reports.
