ISLAMABAD — Author and journalist Nadeem Farooq Paracha has said that Twitter blocked his account for 12 hours for posting an article on how India is rewriting its history books.

“Sorry @Jack bhai. Modi is the bestest, most wonderfulest, tolerantest, democratist, peacefulest man in the wholest widest world. In fact he’s a deity. Please don’t lock my account again. Jai Hind.”
