Imran Khan, Bilawal Bhutto's X accounts suspended in India
India has suspended the X (formerly Twitter) accounts of former prime minister Imran Khan and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari amid mounting tensions following a deadly attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The move comes in the wake of the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, where 26 tourists were killed. New Delhi blames Pakistan for the attack—an accusation Islamabad denies.
The suspension of the high-profile accounts adds to a broader pattern of digital restrictions and reciprocal diplomatic actions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.
India has already blocked several Pakistani social media accounts and media platforms in recent days.
Bilawal Bhutto, who served as Pakistan’s foreign minister until earlier this year, recently addressed his country’s history with terrorism during an interview with Sky News. “It’s not a secret that Pakistan has a past,” he said, referencing internal reforms aimed at curbing extremism. “We have suffered... but we’ve learned our lessons.”
