India blocks Instagram accounts of Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, several other Pakistani actors

Instagram accounts of several prominent Pakistani actors, including Hania Aamir, Mahira Khan, and Ali Zafar, were blocked in India on Wednesday evening, days after a terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that left 26 people dead. The Indian government has attributed the attack to cross-border terrorism originating from Pakistan. The social media restrictions come shortly after India banned 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly spreading provocative and communally sensitive content.
