India has suspended X (formerly Twitter) accounts of former Prime Minister Imran Khan and Pakistan Peoples People (PPP) President Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in the middle of mounting tensions following a deadly attack in the Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
The move comes in the wake of the April 22 attack in Pahagam, where 26 tourists were killed. New Delhi accuses Pakistan of the attack – an accusation Islamabad denies.
The suspension of the high profiled accounts adds a wider pattern of digital limitations and mutual 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 turned to his country’s history of terrorism during an interview with Sky News. “It’s not a secret that Pakistan has a past,” he said, referring to internal reforms aimed at limiting extremism. “We have a little … But we have learned our lessons.”
