Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Former Pakistan cricketers Shoaib Akhtar and Basit Ali's YouTube channels has been banned by the Indian government in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives in Jammu and Kashmir.

The former cricketers are not alone in facing the burn, as 16 other Pakistani YouTube channels have been banned in India for provocative and communally sensitive content, along with false and misleading narratives targeting India, its Army and security agencies.

The decision was taken by the Government of India based on recommendations from the Ministry of Home Affairs following the tragic Pahalgam terror incident in Jammu and Kashmir.
