The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology issues a clarification after Facebook post for calling PM Narendra Modi to resign. A Wall Street Journal story attributing removal of certain hashtag by FB to GoI‘s efforts to curb public dissent is misleading on facts & mischievous in intent. Govt hasn't issued any direction to remove the hashtag. FB clarified it was removed by mistake, says the ministry.
