New Delhi: India has intensified its digital crackdown on Pakistani media outlets and blocked access to the YouTube channel of Pakistan army’s media wing, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR).
According to Kashmir Media Service, the government has reportedly urged platforms like YouTube, Instagram and X to ban all Pakistani handles from operating in India.
Visitors attempting to access the ISPR channel on YouTube are now greeted with a message stating: “This content is currently unavailable in this country because of an order from the government related to national security or public order.”
Apart from the ISPR, several more popular Pakistani drama channels on YouTube, including ARY, Har Pal Geo and Hum TV, have also been blocked by the Indian government.
Several Pakistani celebrities’ Instagram handles, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, Ali Zafar, Sanam Saeed, Bilal Abbas, Iqra Aziz, Imran Abbas and Sajal Aly, face the same restriction in India.
Earlier, 16 Pakistani YouTube channels, including Dawn News, Samaa TV, ARY News and Geo News, were banned.
