Union Minister of State for Home Affairs G. Kishan Reddy has asked the authorities concerned to verify the contents of a formal complaint lodged`by S.Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, vice-chairman of the Nehru Yuva Kendra Sangathan (NYKS) and submit an action-taken report at the earliest.
Mr. Vishnu Vardhan Reddy, in a letter addressed to the Minister on Monday, alleged that his name was being misused and pictures were being morphed to stoke enmity between groups of people and damage the reputation of the NYKS. Observing that the NYKS was one-of-its-kind grassroots level youth organisation, Mr. Vishnu Vardhan Reddy said a few Twitter handles, a website and a YouTube channel were out to tarnish his image by morphing his images and posting misleading content under the name 'VishnuLeaks'. The NYKS leader sought legal action against these social media networking platforms.
The Minister asked the authorities to verify the contents in the complaint and submit an action-taken report.
