New Delhi: TV personality and political commentator Tehseen Poonawalla’s Instagram account was suspended on Thursday, July 30, ahead of the July 31 “Gaadi March” he announced to protest against E20 petrol (20 per cent ethanol blended petrol). On Thursday morning, Poonawalla announced on X that his Instagram account was suspended, alleging that the “government is scared” of his social media fame. In a following post on X, Poonawalla addressed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the account suspension was undemocratic. Taking a jab at Modi’s push for more Instagram content, Poonawalla said, “Respected PM sir, on one hand you encourage your ministers, MPs to join Instagram, on the other hand my account is suspended when it is trending.” His Instagram videos highlighted other issues with E20 petrol, such as ethanol absorbing moisture and causing water separation, which eventually damages the engine.
