India has banned the official Instagram page of Pakistani news outlet 24NewsHD, restricting Indian users' access to its content. This form of digital censorship occurs at a time when Pakistan and India are facing increased tensions on both diplomatic and media fronts. Rather than engaging in open dialogue or countering narratives with facts, India appears to be silencing Pakistani voices, raising serious questions about freedom of expression.
24NewsHD, known for its critical reporting and bold coverage of regional affairs, confirmed that its Instagram page is no longer accessible in India. The outlet has condemned the move, calling it a cowardly attempt to suppress truth and limit cross-border media visibility.
