New Delhi, December 18: The Congress party and some of its leaders on Wednesday received notices from social media platform X for sharing certain video clips of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on their handles. Opposition sources said the communication by X refers to the notice it has received from the Cyber Crime Coordination Centre of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for removal of the content shared by them, which is in violation of the law of India.
