Indian YouTuber banned in Pakistan after posting video on Balochistan; read full statement

Delhi-based YouTuber Nitish Rajput has claimed in a Twitter post that the Pakistan government has blocked his YouTube channel in the country. The ban seems to be the result of a video he posted on Balochistan. Nitish also the two notices he received from YouTube. His post came in the wake of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan. In the wee hours of May 7, Indian Armed Forces launched Operation Sindoor that targeted terror launchpads in Pakistan to avenge the terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. "Pakistan has blocked my YouTube in Pakistan,” Rajput wrote in a post on Twitter.

He followed it with another post on the YouTube notice received on a video he did on Balochistan. "The Pakistani government has filed another legal complaint regarding the Balochistan video — it has been banned and is no longer available in Pakistan," Nitish Rajput wrote.
