Tensions are high between Meta Platforms and Indian regulators after the company came under fire in the country twice in short succession.
While it later said the restriction was due to an "error," initially the post reportedly indicated the content was blocked due to a "legal request."
They added, however, that India would need to amend the broader legal framework to remove the safe harbor rights of the platform.
Meta, though, is keen to assuage concerns of the regulators, especially those around Modi's post.
Meta did not comment on the authenticity of these claims in the official statement shared with CNBC.
