The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday criticized the appointment of Raheel Khursheed, a former activist and journalist, as head of the news, politics and government division at Twitter Inc.’s Indian unit. The main opposition party cited Khursheed’s statements on alleged army brutality in Kashmir and critical references to Narendra Modi, the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, for opposing the appointment even as it conceded that it was an internal matter of the company that runs the popular microblogging website.
