Social media platform X (formerly Twitter) disclosed that the Indian government has ordered the blocking of over 8,000 accounts, including those of international news outlets and prominent users, amid escalating tensions with Pakistan. X stated it would comply to maintain service access in India but raised concerns about transparency and the inability to publish the executive orders. The move is part of a broader crackdown that includes bans on Pakistani YouTube channels and restrictions on public figures following a surge in online misinformation after the Pahalgam terror attack.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level review meeting on May 8 to assess national security readiness in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and ongoing Operation Sindoor. Emphasizing inter-Ministerial coordination and heightened vigilance, the PM directed departments to ensure operational continuity, counter misinformation, and safeguard critical infrastructure amid rising tensions.

In a firm response to the Pahalgam terror attack that claimed 26 lives, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has granted the Indian armed forces full freedom to determine the nature and timing of retaliatory action. Chairing a high-level security meeting, PM Modi vowed a decisive blow to terrorism and hinted at Pakistan's role, warning that the punishment for the perpetrators would be "beyond their imagination." The government has also initiated steps to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, marking a significant diplomatic escalation.

At least 26 people, mostly tourists, were killed in a terror attack at Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow in Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday, marking the deadliest strike in the Valley since Pulwama in 2019. The Resistance Front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, has claimed responsibility. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cut short his Saudi Arabia visit to return to Delhi and review the situation, while global leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, condemned the attack.
