The Instagram accounts of several prominent Pakistani celebrities, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, Ali Zafar, and Sanam Saeed, have been blocked from view in India, in yet another sign of deteriorating relations between Pakistan and India.
Indian users attempting to access these profiles were met with a message stating: “Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.”
Among the other Pakistani actors whose accounts are no longer visible in India are Bilal Abbas, Iqra Aziz, Imran Abbas and Sajal Aly. At the same time, the profiles of Fawad Khan and Wahaj Ali remain accessible for now.
Islamabad, in response, ordered the expulsion of Indian diplomats and military advisers, cancelling visas for Indian nationals, with the exception of Sikh pilgrims, and closing the main border crossing from its side.
Pakistan also offered to take part in a credible and transparent investigation
