India summons Wikipedia on Arshdeep issue

India lost to Pakistan by 5 wickets in the Asia Cup Super Four match on 4 September. Indian pacer Arshdeep dropped the catch of Pakistan’s Asif Ali in the match. The price of which has to be paid by accepting criticism and trolling on social media. Not only that, but his Wikipedia information has also been distorted.

The information of this Indian cricketer has been changed and he has also been made ‘Khalistani’. Associated with the separatist Khalistani movement. The incident started after Asif Ali’s catch miss against Pakistan in the Pak-India match.

However, the Indian government did not sit calm after this incident. Indian representatives of Wikipedia have been summoned by the IT Ministry. It has been reported that a show-cause notice may also be issued if a proper explanation is not given for changing the information for such a short period of time.

According to IT analysts, the national security of the country may be disrupted in this incident. Indian government may want to ask Wikipedia representatives, how is it allowed to change information for such a short period of time?
