A day after sources from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology stated that they have not sent a notice to the microblogging platform X (formerly Twitter) and its Artificial Intelligence vertical, Grok, for using Hindi slang, Congress MP Manish Tewari criticized the union government for attempting to gain favor with United States President Donald Trump's administration.
The Congress leader claimed that the Trump administration is being run "by proxy" by Elon Musk and questioned whether the union government would have the gumption to issue a notice to X.
"This government is bending over backwards to praise, to try and somehow curry favor with the Trump administration. Therefore, under these circumstances, the Trump administration is effectively being run by Mr. Elon Musk. Do you think that the government of India will have the gumption to issue a notice to X over Grok?" Tewari said.
Earlier today, Tewari posted a similar message on X: "With Govt bending over backwards to kowtow to @realDonaldTrump through @elonmusk, I doubt they have the gumption to issue @X a notice over the delightfully mischievous @grok. Ain’t upsetting @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk over Mr. @grok having some fun."
What happened?
Earlier, on March 20, sources from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology confirmed that they had not sent any notice to the platform or its AI vertical, Grok, regarding the chatbot allegedly using Hindi slang in its responses. Sources stated that the ministry is in talks with the platforms to understand which laws, if any, are being violated.

The sources added that MeitY officials are engaging with X's team to determine the specific violation and which Indian law may have been breached. One source said, "MeitY has not sent any notice to Grok or X. MeitY is in talks with X and Grok to understand what law it is violating."
