India has blocked access to the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Government of Pakistan after a recent incident in Kashmir. This move comes as part of India’s changing diplomatic approach towards Pakistan.
The social media platform X has a policy that allows content or accounts to be restricted in specific countries if a legal request is made. While this may limit local access, the content remains visible in other parts of the world. The aim, according to the platform, is to balance local laws with the global right to free speech.
Following the decision by India, Pakistan’s National Security Committee is expected to hold a meeting soon. The committee will review the current situation and likely develop a joint strategy in response to the action taken by India.
This step is seen as part of a wider shift in how digital platforms and diplomacy are used in the region. Blocking government accounts is not just a technical decision—it carries political weight. It shows how countries are now using digital tools to send messages and take stands in diplomatic matters.
Experts believe that while such actions are meant to protect national interests, they can also affect talks around peace and cooperation. The Kashmir issue has long been a sensitive topic between India and Pakistan, and the latest incident has once again highlighted the fragile relationship between the two nations.
This recent development shows how online platforms, international relations, and national security are now closely connected. As the situation unfolds, both countries may take more steps—both online and offline—that could shape the future of regional diplomacy.
