Pahalgam Terror Attack: India bans Pakistan's official X account in latest digital strike

In a strong digital retaliation following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, India has banned the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Pakistan government from being accessed within the country. This marks a significant digital strike, part of a broader series of punitive steps announced by India to respond to Pakistan’s continued support for terrorism.This action comes on the heels of a high-level Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during which five major decisions were taken. These included suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and shutting down the Attari border temporarily—measures aimed at mounting strategic pressure on Pakistan.With the ban on the official X handle, India has sent a clear message that it will not tolerate propaganda or diplomatic engagements from a country it believes is harboring terrorism. The move has created a wave of concern across Pakistan, where fears of further actions such as a surgical strike are now mounting. India's multi-pronged approach—military, diplomatic, and now digital—reflects a decisive shift in policy aimed at isolating Pakistan on all fronts following the Pahalgam incident.
