Netizens Express Sadness On Twitter For Public Policy Head Mahima Kaul Resigns

Microblogging site Twitter India’s public policy director Mahima Kaul has resigned from her position on Saturday, citing personal reasons.

On Sunday, the company said that Mahima Kaul resigned in January and that she will be at the helm till March-end. Twitter global policy head Monique Meche said in a statement, ”At the start of this year, Mahima Kaul decided to step down from her role as Twitter Public Policy Director for India and South Asia to take a well-deserved break”.

”It’s a loss for all of us at Twitter, but after more than 5 years in the role, we respect her desire to focus on the most important people and relationships in her personal life. Mahima will continue in her role till the end of March and will support the transition”. The job listing has been made public.

Reports also suggest that her resignation has nothing to do with the recent incident wherein the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) had directed Twitter to block accounts related to farmers’ protest. Twitter had then withheld accounts that were using the hashtag ‘ModiPlanningFarmerGenocide’. The ban was lifted after 5-6 hours.

According to reports, Kaul had decided to resign much before the government warning was issued. Also, job listings for the position clearly show that Twitter has been seeking applications since last month.

She is parting ways after spending more than 5 years with the company to take some time off.

On the other hand, as soon as reveling the news, a group of netizens has expressed their sadness on Twitter with #MahimaPleaseDontGo.

Here are some Tweets of netizens:
