India Restores X Account of Turkey’s TRT & China’s Global Times
In a sudden turn of events, India has restored the official X (formerly Twitter) accounts of Turkey’s public broadcaster TRT World and the Chinese government’s Global Times, just a day after suspending them on Wednesday morning. The move has sparked a fresh wave of controversy, with many questioning the timing of the decision in the wake of India’s Operation Sindoor against Pakistan.
As reported by the Tribune India, the TRT World and Global Times accounts were restored after a short-lived block, sparking concerns about India’s stance on the recent developments in the region. The news comes as Turkey and China have been accused of supporting Pakistan in the aftermath of India’s military operation against the terrorist organization.
Background to the Controversy
For those who may be unaware, India launched Operation Sindoor on Tuesday in response to the Pahalgam terror attack that left several Indian soldiers dead. The operation aimed to take out terrorist camps and infrastructure in Pakistan, which has been accused of supporting and harboring terrorist organizations.
In the aftermath of the operation, Turkey and China have been accused of supporting Pakistan, with many questioning their stance on the issue. The controversy surrounding the TRT World and Global Times accounts is, therefore, set against this backdrop.
The Suspended Accounts
The TRT World and Global Times accounts were suspended on Wednesday morning, sparking widespread speculation about the reasons behind the move. Many interpreted the suspension as a reaction to the controversy surrounding Turkey and China’s alleged support for Pakistan.
The TRT World account is a Turkish public broadcaster that operates globally, providing news and current affairs coverage to a wide audience. The Global Times, on the other hand, is a Chinese government-run English-language newspaper that is known for its pro-Beijing stance.
The Restoration of the Accounts
In a surprising turn of events, the TRT World and Global Times accounts were restored on Thursday morning, just a day after they were suspended. The move has raised questions about the timing and the reasons behind the restoration of the accounts.
While the Indian government has not officially commented on the matter, many are speculating that the restoration of the accounts may be a reaction to international pressure or a bid to maintain diplomatic ties with Turkey and China.
Impact on Tourism
The controversy surrounding the TRT World and Global Times accounts has also had an impact on tourism. Several Indians have reportedly cancelled their trips to Turkey in the wake of the controversy, citing concerns about safety and security.
The Turkish government has been trying to promote tourism in the country, and the controversy surrounding the TRT World account may have dealt a blow to these efforts. The Indian government’s decision to restore the account may, therefore, be seen as a bid to ease tensions and promote tourism in Turkey.
Conclusion
The restoration of the TRT World and Global Times accounts is a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding Turkey and China’s alleged support for Pakistan. While the Indian government has not officially commented on the matter, the move is likely to be seen as a bid to ease tensions and maintain diplomatic ties with Turkey and China.
As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the controversy will play out in the coming days and weeks. One thing is certain, however – the restoration of the accounts has sparked a fresh wave of controversy, and the situation is likely to remain tense for some time to come.
