There has been a rise in tensions between India and Pakistan after the attack in Pahalgam. The government of India has banned most Pakistani news channels and YouTube channels. The YouTube channel of Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has also been banned by India.

It is written on the blocked channel, "This content is currently not available in this country due to the government's order related to national security. Please see the Google Transparency Report for more information about government removal requests."

The central government earlier this week blocked 16 Pakistani YouTube channels for broadcasting "false, inflammatory and communally sensitive content" about India.

At the same time, strong objections were also raised to the BBC's reporting on the Pahalgam attack. Let us tell you that 26 people were killed in the Pahalgam attack. After this attack, India has continuously taken action against Pakistan.

Officials said that the Ministry of External Affairs will also monitor the reporting of the BBC. The BBC has called the terrorists militants in its reporting. The blocked YouTube channels are Dawn News, Irshad Bhatti, Sama TV, ARY News, Bol News, Raftar, The Pakistan Reference, Geo News, Sama Sports, GNN, Uzair Cricket, Umar Cheema Exclusive, Asma Shirazi, Munib Farooq, Suno News and Razi Nama.
