- A message on Khan’s and Bhutto’s X accounts stated they were withheld in India due to a legal demand, with Bhutto condemning India’s move as retaliation for his firm stance on the Pahalgam incident.
- The digital and diplomatic restrictions reflect escalating hostility and reciprocal measures amid unresolved accusations over cross-border terrorism between these nuclear-armed neighbors.
