On Thursday, Facebook said it has banned Raja Singh for violating policy prohibiting promotion or engaged in violence, and hate from having a presence on our platform. Facebook labelled the minister as dangerous individuals against the organisations’ policy. He should not be allowed to maintain a presence on the platform while going forward.

Evaluation of the potential violators requires extensive work. This led to Facebook’s decision to remove his Facebook account, a statement from the company said. With over 300 million users, Facebook is counted among the largest markets, a Wall Street Journal report alleged that its content policies had favoured the ruling BJP.

Earlier, Facebook had ignored the posts which contained the hate speech by Raja Singh to secure its business interests in India. A political feud erupted between the opposition Congress and the ruling BJP. Congress MP Shashi Tharoor led a parliamentary panel summoned Facebook representatives discussing the issue on Wednesday.
