ISLAMABAD:Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar strongly condemned India’s decision to block YouTube channels of Pakistani media, journalists, and anchors following the Pahalgam incident.
In a series of phone calls with media representatives, Tarar expressed solidarity with journalists and media organizations affected by India’s move. He praised Pakistani media for effectively countering Indian propaganda and presenting Pakistan’s stance to the world with logic and professionalism.
The minister accused India of imposing restrictions to conceal its global embarrassment. “Such actions cannot suppress facts or hide Pakistan’s position from the world,” he said, emphasizing the failure of India’s narrative internationally.
He commended Pakistani journalists for their responsible and patriotic reporting, saying their role in defending national dignity would be remembered.
