The Pakistan government’s official X account was blocked in India two days after 26 people were killed in a deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology requested social media platform X to block the official account of the Government of Pakistan in India. In compliance with the request, the account has been suspended and is no longer accessible to users in India.
The move follows a series of sweeping diplomatic and strategic countermeasures against Pakistan, including the effective downgrading of diplomatic relations with Pakistan, closure of key border routes, suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, and the expulsion of Pakistani military attaches from its High Commission in New Delhi.
In a further blow to bilateral ties, Pakistani nationals have been barred from travelling to India under the SAARC Visa Exemption Scheme, with all previously issued visas declared void. Those already present in India have been directed to leave the country within 48 hours.
