Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif's YouTube channel blocked in India over security

The government had earlier this week blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly disseminating false, provocative and communally sensitive content
Press Trust of India New Delhi
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's YouTube channel was blocked in India on Friday amid ongoing tension between the two countries following the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam.
"The content is currently unavailable in this country because of an order from the government related to national security or public order. For more details about government removal requests, please visit the Google Transparency Report," read a message on the blocked channel.
The government had earlier this week blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for allegedly disseminating "false, provocative and communally sensitive content" about India and has also strongly objected to the BBC's reportage on the Pahalgam attack.
The government's move follows recommendations from the Ministry of Home Affairs in the wake of the April 22 terror attack in the upper reaches of the Kashmir resort town in which 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed.
Besides, the Ministry of External Affairs will be monitoring the reporting of the BBC, which termed terrorists as militants, officials had said.
The YouTube channels blocked are Dawn News, Irshad Bhatti, SAMAA TV, ARY NEWS, BOL NEWS, Raftar, The Pakistan Reference, Geo News, Samaa Sports, GNN, Uzair Cricket, Umar Cheema Exclusive, Asma Shirazi, Muneeb Farooq, SUNO News and Razi Naama.

There we go again: Will America ever rid itself of its Pakistan delusions?

Harsh V. Pant , Vinay Kaura US President Trump may have flattered Pakistan's General Asim Munir into tactical utility as it joins Israel's conflict with Iran. While India must stay alert to any Rawalpindi misadventure, these developments don't alter New Delhi's long-term strategic calculus. Trump's decision to engage directly and publicly with Pakistan's army chief through lunch diplomacy at the White House is hardly surprising. Gift this article In the arena of global diplomacy, where visible gestures are often decoys and true intentions remain hidden, last week's overture of US President Donald Trump towards Pakistan's army chief, General Asim Munir, needs to be understood not as a standalone event, but in the context of America's weekend strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities: i.e., as part of a calculated manoeuvre rooted in both expediency and ignorance. In the arena of global diplomacy, where visible gestures are often decoys and true intentions remain hidden, last week's overture of US President Donald Trump towards Pakistan's army chief, General Asim Munir, needs to be understood not as a standalone event, but in the context of America's weekend strikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities: i.e., as part of a calculated manoeuvre rooted in both expediency and ignorance. That Trump 'was honoured" to meet Munir and publicly claimed Pakistanis 'knew Iran better than most" was not casual talk. It was a premeditated message that underscored America's need of Pakistan on its side both diplomatically and potentially as a military partner. Courting the Pakistani general, however, is also a misjudgement—a glimpse of America's enduring delusions. India can easily see through the US-Pakistan theatre. And it need not react with anxiety or noise. Instead, it should observe, evaluate, and, when needed, act with precision. Trump's decision to engage directly with Pakistan's army chief through lunch diplomacy at the White House is hardly surprising. It is a throwback to the antiquated logic of bipolar era diplomacy where the American state, impatient with the democratic disorder in a military-dominated milieu, finds solace in military men—generals who make lofty promises of order, control and silence. As a veteran of anti-communist Cold War alliances SEATO and CENTO and a front-line US ally during the Soviet-Afghan war, Pakistan is well-versed with the nuances of American strategy making. From Dwight D. Eisenhower's fondness of General Ayub Khan to Ronald Reagan's strategic embrace of General Zia-ul-Haq, the American presidency has followed a consistent pattern. However, as history has demonstrated, courting generals may yield a tactical advantage but invite strategic disaster. What differs this time is the subtext. Trump's praise of Pakistan's knowledge of Iran is more than rhetorical flattery. It is a signal to the Pentagon and the Israeli right alike: the US, with Iran's nuclear programme in its crosshairs, views the Pakistani military machine as a potential lever in the broader Middle Eastern calculus. That Pakistani people, by and large, are sympathetic towards Iran and view Israeli aggression dimly is irrelevant in this cynical calculation. Powerful quarters in Washington see the Pakistani army as a lever of consequence. Also Read: Pakistan's economy must escape the clutches of its armed forces Against this backdrop, the much-hyped lunch with Munir was not a diplomatic courtesy; it was psychological inflation, a deliberate stroking of the ego of a man who views himself in imperial terms as a field marshal presiding over a captive polity. Even as Trump was boasting of his role in 'averting war" between India and Pakistan—a false claim that New Delhi had rejected firmly and early—he was probably aware of the war plans unfolding in Tel Aviv. Israel's airstrikes of 13 June against Iran had not yet taken place, but their outlines were already drawn. The choreography of the flattery of Munir within days of Tel Aviv's action was not about equations in South Asia, but a likely prelude to another play for power in West Asia. In joining Israel with US firepower—although he could've confined the American role to supporting Tel Aviv with diplomacy and intelligence—Trump has apparently opted to sacrifice strategic flexibility and risk losing diplomatic leverage. The Pakistani military may be willing to take extraordinary risks in acting against Iranian interests, provided it is assured by Washington of anything resembling a tactical advantage vis-a-vis India. Pakistan's official condemnation of Israeli strikes on Iran was rendered immaterial by the image of its field marshal seated at Trump's lunch table. Also Read: Nitin Pai: How to dissuade Pakistan from deploying terrorism This raises vital strategic implications for India. First, it affirms the reality that Pakistan's military is its only coherent institution, with an unequalled grip over its foreign policy, nuclear doctrine and internal security. Second, it underscores that the West, particularly the US ruling elite, continues to see Pakistan through a transactional lens. This isn't new but increasingly out of touch with current geopolitical realities. The message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent rejection of Trump's gratuitous claim regarding the India-Pakistan ceasefire is clear: India would not be dragged into a charade of equivalence. This is not the Cold War era or a unipolar moment. India does not share a hyphen with Pakistan; what it shares is a geography, and increasingly, very little else. In the Trump-Munir exchange, New Delhi sees a populist president who treats foreign policy as theatre, a militarized state desperate for global validation and a global order that is once again flirting dangerously with instability. Yet, this spectacle calls for vigilance. The symbolic coronation of Munir within Pakistan could animate the military establishment to engage in brinkmanship. New Delhi cannot afford to become complacent. It is premature to judge whether this reset in the US-Pakistan relationship is a thaw or an upswing; yet, in flattering Munir, Trump has opened the door to a broader psychological campaign detrimental to India's stance: one that seeks to position the Pakistani military as a stabilizing force, even as it acts as the principal agent of regional instability. Also Read: Pakistan's IMF bailout: Good money after bad again? India should keep deepening its strategic relationships—not just with the US, whose political trajectory remains clouded, but with the EU, France, Japan, Gulf countries and Australia. The West must also be reminded: if it seeks a counterweight to Chinese power, it will not find it in the client military of a garrison state. It will find it in a vibrant democracy that's a bulwark against authoritarianism. India is not merely a 'market' or a 'partner'; it is the backbone of any reliable Indo-Pacific institutional architecture. The great blunder of US diplomacy has long been its impatience. It seeks short-term gains over long-term understanding. Its gestures often appear dramatic, but its memory is woefully short. India has no need to highlight its importance; it must only act in accordance with it. Last week's spectacle was farcical but calls for reflection. As the Trump-led White House seeks to remake old alliances on discredited assumptions, the smile on Munir's face as he sat across from Trump was not the smile of victory. It was the smile of a man flattered into tactical utility. India, having seen many Pakistani generals flattered before their fall, has no need for such illusions.

Pakistan condemns US strikes on Iran after nominating Trump for Nobel Peace

Pakistan on Sunday condemned the United States' air strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, calling them a 'violation of international law' and warning that the escalation could severely destabilise the region. The statement by Pakistan's Foreign Office came less than 24 hours after Islamabad formally proposed US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, citing his diplomatic role in halting a military standoff between India and Pakistan. 'The US attacks on the nuclear facilities of Iran, which follow the series of attacks by Israel, are gravely concerning,' the FO said. 'These attacks violate all norms of international law. Iran has the legitimate right to defend itself under the UN Charter.' The US had struck Iran's Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites early Sunday morning in what Trump described as an effort to dismantle Tehran's nuclear programme. He also warned of additional strikes if Iran retaliated. 'Deeply disturbing' escalation, says Pakistan Pakistan warned that the 'unprecedented escalation of tensions and violence owing to ongoing aggression against Iran is deeply disturbing". It added that any further escalation would have 'severely damaging implications for the region and beyond". Calling for immediate de-escalation, Pakistan urged respect for civilian lives and property and proposed dialogue among all parties. 'Recourse to dialogue and diplomacy in line with the principles and purposes of the UN Charter remains the only viable pathway to resolve the crises in the region,' it said. Pakistan also stressed the need for "adherence to international humanitarian law" and warned against actions that could widen the conflict across the Middle East. Praise for Trump just a day earlier Islamabad's sharp criticism of Washington comes in stark contrast to its praise for Trump just a day earlier. On Saturday, the Pakistan government said it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his 'decisive diplomatic intervention' in defusing recent tensions between India and Pakistan. Pakistan's army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, had met Trump for lunch at the White House last week—the first such engagement between a US president and a serving Pakistani military leader. Munir reportedly thanked Trump for "mediating a ceasefire" during the four-day military exchange between India and Pakistan in April, which followed the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that left 26 Indians dead. Trump, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, 'I stopped the war between Pakistan and India. This man [Munir] was extremely influential in stopping it from the Pakistani side. Modi from the Indian side… They are both nuclear countries. I got it stopped.' No response from major Pakistani political parties Despite the strong statement from the Foreign Office, leaders of Pakistan's main political parties—the Pakistan Muslim League (N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party—have not issued any comments on the US strikes. Munir was expected to use his White House visit to dissuade Trump from entering the Israel–Iran conflict, according to Reuters. Iran and Pakistan share close diplomatic ties, and part of the Iranian diplomatic mission in the US is represented through the Pakistani embassy in Washington, given the absence of formal US–Iran relations.
