With this one decision, access to Pakistani channels such as those belonging to Shoaib Akhtar, Arzoo Kazmi, and Syed Muzammil Shah has been restricted for Indian YouTube users.

 A total of 26 innocent civilians were shot dead by 4 Islamic terrorists in the Pahalgam terror attack, which took place on 22nd April.

24 of the victims were Hindus by Faith. All the terrorists were Muslims by Faith. Multiple victim testimonies have surfaced in the aftermath of the terror attack, which shows how Hindus were profiled before being killed.

They were forced to say their names, show ID cards, recite Kalma and even pull down their pants to show proof of ‘circumcision.’
