New Delhi, March 30, 2023 (PPI-OT): The official Twitter account of the Pakistan government has been withheld in India. When anyone tries to access the Twitter account of the Pakistan government, it says, “Account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand.” This is the second time in six months that the account has been withheld in India.

However, what prompted the move against the official Twitter handle of the Government of Pakistan by Indian officials is yet to be ascertained. The Pakistan government’s Twitter account has been blocked from being viewed in India in response to a legal demand, according to a notice on the social media platform, media reported.

The account, @GovtofPakistan, remained available for viewing and interaction from countries such as the United States and Canada. A response from Twitter, India and Pakistan’s IT ministries is still awaited. Pakistan’s government official Twitter account was also withheld in October, 2022. It was also withheld in July but was reactivated.
