The Indian government has continued its pattern of banning social media accounts by shutting down the account of Austrian economist Gunther Fehlinger-Jahn for posting a map of Khalistan and advocating for the breakup of India. NDTV reported that the account was suspended following a controversial message in which he called for the dissolution of India into “ExIndia,” accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of working for Russia, and expressing support for a Khalistan network.
The map shared by Fehlinger-Jahn depicted a separate Sikh region within India. In response, Indian authorities from the Ministry of Home Affairs and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology directed social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to restrict access to his account for users in India, leading to its deactivation within the country.
Fehlinger-Jahn then posted another message demanding “ExIndia,” claiming India is now hostile to the free world and calling for a boycott of the country. According to his LinkedIn profile, he serves as president of the Austrian Committee for NATO Membership for Ukraine, Kosovo, Bosnia, and Austria. He is also a board member of the Action Group for Regional Economic Integration of the Southern Balkans.
