Twitter sends notice to President of Pakistan after his tweet supporting Kashmir gets reported by India

President Arif Alvi was sent on Sunday an email from social networking service Twitter in reference to his tweet which supported Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK) after India imposed a curfew and annexed the disputed region.

In the email, the social networking site wrote that it had received a complaint against his account for tweeting in favor of the Kashmiris. However, Twitter further said, that it had investigated the said tweet and could not identify any 'violations of the Twitter rules or applicable laws'.

"Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time," the email added.

On August 24, the president had posted a video on his official Twitter handle and raised voice for the Kashmiris. "This is Srinagar yesterday despite curfews, bans, blackouts, teargas & firing. No amount of oppression & brutality can suppress the resentment of the Kashmiris against India. They want freedom at all costs. Please retweet and let the world know," President Alvi tweeted.

Following the recent developments in IoK, Twitter has been suspending accounts who have been posting about Kashmir. #StopSuspendingPakistanis was also trending on Twitter in Pakistan as multiple users complained that their accounts have been suspended.

IoK has been under lock down since the start of August after India abrogated Article 370 from its constitution. Landlines and internet services have been suspended in major areas of the region. Former chief ministers Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and other leaders have been put under house arrest.

Indian government has also barred Indian politicians from visiting IoK. On Saturday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi along with a delegation were sent back from Srinagar airport after they attempted to visit occupied Kashmir to review the situation.
