By writing a letter to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, 'X' (formerly Twitter) said that it will not be registered in Nepal.
The social media platform 'X' (previously Twitter) has written to the government of Nepal and said that it will not register in a country where transparency and corruption are high.
In a letter to the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, X said that it will not be registered in Nepal. Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli made Chief Secretary Ek Narayan Aryal read out the letter sent by X in the cabinet meeting on Monday. After that, Prime Minister Oli informed the ministers of the decision not to open the ban on social media.
Prime Minister Oli became angry after hearing X's letter of a businessman who did not register in a corrupt and non-transparent country. Saying that you will not come to register in a corrupt country? Do we call a sovereign country like that if you register it and run it, make a profit? It may be acceptable to others but not to me' said a minister quoting Oli's words.
Congress President Deuba reached Baluwatar after the cabinet meeting did not decide to lift the ban on unregistered social networks in Nepal. After reaching Baluwatar and pressing Deuba to open social networks, Minister of Communications Prithvisubba Gurung has sent a letter to internet providers asking them to open.
The Ministry of Communication and Information Technology banned Facebook, X, YouTube and other platforms from the 19th (Thursday) for failing to register.
