Swara Bhasker Lashes Out At X For ‘Permanently Suspending’ Her Account Over ‘Republic Day Wish’

Actor Swara Bhasker expressed her annoyance on Instagram following the permanent suspension of her X (previously Twitter) account. The star expressed her annoyance at having two of her tweets—one of which included a Republic Day greeting—marked as violating copyright.

In addition to the posts that were flagged for copyright violations, Swara shared screenshots of the notifications she got from X. She wrote, “(You can’t make this stuff up!!!!) Dear X, Two images from two tweets have been marked as ‘copyright infringements’. Basis which my X account is locked / disabled, I can’t access it and permanent suspension has been approved by your teams”.

She then went into detail about which of her posts had been flagged as illegal. “One with an orange background and text in Hindi Devnagri script reading “Gandhi Hum Sharmindaa hain, Tere qaatil zinda hain” is a popular slogan of the progressive movement in India. There is no copyright violation. It is akin to urban modern folk idiom.”

Swara then questioned how a picture of her daughter can be marked for copyright infringement, “The second image marked as a violation is an image of MY OWN child with her face concealed waving an Indian flag and with writing ‘HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY India’. How can this possibly be a copyright infringement ???? Who has a copyright on my child’s likeness??? Both of these complaints are ridiculous and untenable by any rational, logical and objective understanding of any legal definition of copyright.”

If the tweets were reported, the performer said, it was because someone was trying to restrict her right to free speech. She said, “If these tweets have been mass reported they are aimed to harass the user I.e. myself and are aimed at suppressing my freedom of speech and expression. Kindly review and reverse your decision. Thanks, Swara Bhaskar”.
