New Delhi: Micro blogging platform Twitter has removed the blue tick by putting the handle of Vice President of India and Rajya Sabha President M Venkaiah Naidu in the category of 'Unverified'. Earlier, M Venkaiah Naidu's Twitter account had a blue tick mark, which is no longer there. Mumbai BJP spokesperson Suresh Nakhua said Twitter's act is a direct insult to the Indian Constitution. Similarly, other leaders also opposed the Twitter.

In fact, Twitter's policy says that if someone has changed the username of their handle or the account becomes inactive or incomplete, the blue tick found by him can be removed. Blue tick is also removed when the user is no longer in the same position as the user when the blue tick was given. At the same time, those who do not follow the criteria for verification of Twitter are also removed from the blue tick. However, the Vice President has not tweeted from this account since July 23, 2020. He has 13 lakh followers on this handle. Twitter's policy also says that if there is no continuous login for 6 months, it can put the handle in the category of 'inactive'. Venkaiah Naidu is active with a handle with 'M Venkaiah Naidu (@MVenkaiahNaidu)' which has a blue tick.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian President has decided to ban Twitter indefinitely. The African country, based in the Gulf of Guinea, said Twitter was hurting its "corporate existence" and that is why the action was taken. the Twitter deleted a tweet by President Muhammadu Buhari following which the action was taken. The company has confirmed that it has been ordered to stop its operations in Nigeria, which is shocking.
