The Centre has said Meta's explanation for briefly removing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Facebook post is "not adequate" and that the matter remains unresolved. Meta said the content was removed "in error" and restored soon after, apologising for the incident. However, government officials said the explanation did not sufficiently clarify what caused the removal and sought further discussions.

The government continues to examine the issue. (PC: Deccan Herald)
