The content of the email stated that we have received a complaint regarding your account and that “We have investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations of the Twitter rules or allocable law. Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time.” The notice was served after the president posted a video of Srinagar condition with a caption, “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.”
