The action comes in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives, prompting India to intensify its crackdown on Pakistani digital presence.

The Indian government cited national security concerns as the primary reason for blocking Sharif’s channel. The suspension is part of a broader effort to curb misinformation and anti-India propaganda originating from Pakistan.

Officials stated that the move aligns with India's digital response strategy, which has already led to the banning of multiple Pakistani YouTube channels and social media accounts.

The suspension of Shehbaz Sharif’s channel is expected to further strain diplomatic ties between India and Pakistan. The Pakistani government has yet to issue an official response.
