Arshad Nadeem’s account blocked in India — but not Shahid Afridi and Babar Azam’s | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Pakistan’s Olympic javelin champion Arshad Nadeem’s Instagram account was blocked in India on Wednesday evening, just days after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, that claimed the lives of 26 Indian tourists.
Visitors to Arshad’s Instagram profile were met with a blank page.
“Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content,“ the message on the page read when opened Nadeem’s account.
However, Instagram accounts of several Pakistani cricketers — including Babar Azam, Shahid Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi — remain accessible in India.
“Those behind this heinous act will be brought to justice,” the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“Our resolve to fight terrorism is unshakable and it will get even stronger,” he had said.
