The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has requested X to withhold the OpIndia account worldwide, citing legal demands related to reported content.
Many other pro-Hindu and pro-BJP accounts have also received the same mail from X (Twitter) saying that the Pakistani government has sought to withhold some of their X posts.
Pakistanis and Kanglus are genuinely delusional. First, Kanglu Yunus lied about persecution of Hindus, “fact checked” OpIndia and then deleted his miserable tweet.
Now, Govt of Pakistan wants @OpIndia_com withheld worldwide.
Sad, delusional, miserable little bastard nation. pic.twitter.com/T3tFVcbQZe

The notice, addressed to OpIndia’s editorial team, asserts that the platform’s content violates Pakistani laws, though specific details remain undisclosed. This move comes as no surprise given Pakistan’s history of internet censorship, including the blocking of social media platforms during the February 2024 national elections, justified by the government as a measure to ensure national security.
OpIndia, which has carved a niche for itself by challenging mainstream narratives and frequently critiquing Islamist ideologies and Pakistan’s policies, has faced criticism in the past.
Recent articles published by OpIndia have further intensified this tension. For instance, a March 4, 2025, report titled “Persecution of Hindus in Pakistan: HRCP Report Exposes Violence and Injustice” detailed the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan’s findings on forced conversions, mob violence, and institutional discrimination against Hindus, particularly in Sindh province, painting a grim picture of religious minorities’ plight. Another article, dated September 28, 2022, “Pakistan Officials Come in Support of Banned Islamist Outfit PFI,” exposed Pakistan’s support for the outlawed Popular Front of India (PFI) and its ties to global terror outfits, accusing Pakistani officials of rallying international backing for the group.
