After Republic exposes ISI-backed Pakistan cyber army, original account peddling fake news on Kashmir becomes inactive

After Republic exposed a devious attempt at information warfare by Pakistan following the peaceful integration of Kashmir with the rest of India, the Twitter handle @WithKashmir_ which had posted heavily edited video from Republic TV's The Sunday Debate with Arnab Goswami from February 24 has become inactive. Its Instagram account settings have also turned into private which means only those accounts it follows can follow it and see its posts.

Below is how @WithKashmir_ Twitter and Instagram accounts statuses appear:

@WithKashmir_ posts edited video, deletes after being exposed

After being exposed, @WithKashmir_ has since accepted the video's illegitimacy and deleted the dubious clip. The sliced and diced clips that made up the video are from The Sunday Debate dated 24 February, 2019, where the motion of the debate was “After Pulwama, should Tukde gang speak in one voice for military solution against Pak?”. The doctored video, however, is aimed at misrepresenting the debate to portray Arnab Goswami as having indulged in “journalism of genocide” against the people of Kashmir.

Conveniently ISI-edited video still circulated

However, the clip is still being passed around by a number of Pakistani handles, many of which are verified, which begs the question being asked - why would Twitter India allow the propagation of content which is clearly a threat to national security, and also, why it wouldn't crackdown on such devious handles.
