  • New Delhi widened tit-for-tat measures against Islamabad on Saturday, blocking access to the social media accounts of Pakistani actors and cricketers, as well as extending trade blocks and stopping postal services.On Saturday, further restrictions blocked access in India to the Instagram account of Pakistan's ex-prime minister and cricket captain Imran Khan.

The article from Yahoo News discusses how India has blocked the social media accounts of several Pakistani celebrities, including cricketers and actors, in response to escalating tensions between the two countries. This action was taken after a suicide bombing in Kashmir, which led to increased hostilities. The blocked accounts include those of Shoaib Akhtar, Javed Akhtar, and Mawra Hocane, among others. The move has sparked outrage and criticism from various quarters, with many viewing it as an attempt to stifle free speech and further inflame relations between India and Pakistan.
