Users resent resignation of India’s public policy chief Mahima Kaul

Twitter India’s public policy chief Mahima Kaul has resigned from his post citing personal reasons. This was confirmed by a senior executive of the social media firm Saturday. However, Kaul said he has stepped down from his role in the organization to take some time off. But his recent resignation with the government is also related to his resignation. At the same time, the #MahimaPleaseDontGo hashtag is running on their behalf on Twitter. Many people are writing, ‘Don’t go away.’ Many people are writing that Twitter has the glory of talking about what is right and what is wrong in India, not knowing friends. Please tell us that Mahima Kaul joined micro blogging site Twitter in 2015.

Significantly, last week, the government of India ordered Twitter to block 250 accounts of farmers’ hashtags in protest against Prime Minister Modi, though many of them were blocked in just 24 hours, after which the government issued a notice.

People familiar with the matter said that Kaul left the microblogging website in the first week of January and will continue working with the company until the end of March. The job listing has been made public on Twitter’s website. “Earlier this year, Mahima Kaul decided to step down from his role as Twitter public policy director for India and South Asia so that he could take a good break,” Twitter’s global policy chief Monique Mehe said in a statement. This is a loss for all of us on Twitter, but after more than five years in the post we honor their desire to focus on the key people and relationships in our personal lives. Mahima will continue in his role until the end of March. “

The news of Kaul’s resignation came to the website at such a controversial time that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology was upset over not deleting tweets relating to “peasant massacre” and “violations of Indian law”. The ministry sent a strong message to Twitter, threatening to punish the company for not blocking more than 250 accounts and posts.
