Indian Ministry of Information also blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for exposing Pahalgam attack narrative
Instagram has restricted access to the accounts of several prominent Pakistani celebrities and influencers in India, citing a legal request related to content regulation.
Affected accounts include those of actress Mahira Khan, influencer Hania Aamir, and singer-actor Ali Zafar. Indian users attempting to view these profiles are met with the message: “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”
The crackdown mirrors similar actions when the Indian Ministry of Information and Broadcasting blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for exposing Pahalgam attack narrative.
The channels were reporting on the Pahalgam attack and had exposed discrepancies in the Modi government’s narrative regarding the event.
The blocked YouTube channels included major news outlets such as Dawn News, Geo News, Samaa TV, and ARY News, Express News as well as individual creators like former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar.
Viewers in India are now shown a notice reading: “This content is currently unavailable in this country because of an order from the government related to national security or public order.”
