India-Pakistan situation escalates again! After Indian troops approached the Pakistan border and were repelled by Pakistan forces, India conducted another airstrike on Pakistani territory and successfully destroyed its air defense system. While rumors are swirling in the outside world, Modi secretly issued a gag order.

Recently, the conflict between India and Pakistan escalated again! India announced that it had launched its first strike against Pakistani military equipment and successfully destroyed the air defense system of Pakistan's second largest city, marking that the situation between the two countries was on the verge of losing control. India stated that this attack was due to Pakistan's prior attack on India's military base.

The Pakistani Foreign Ministry denied this statement and said that the Indian troops at the border intended to invade but were successfully repelled by the Pakistani army, with approximately 50 Indian soldiers killed. Moreover, Pakistan successfully intercepted multiple Indian drone attacks for several consecutive days. The above information indicates that both sides believe that their respective military actions have achieved "great victories".

However, in the current situation where the battlefield is full of changes and network information is very developed, it is difficult to distinguish whether these messages are true or false. In any war, there must be winners and losers. Now both sides claim to have won, so one side must be controlling public opinion and spreading false information, swallowing their grievances.

It is worth noting that just as speculations are rampant in the outside world, US media has revealed a shocking piece of news, suggesting that Modi is the one who swallows his grievances. A social platform under Musk recently released an announcement stating that the company received an administrative order from the Indian government requiring the platform to block over 8000 accounts.

According to the company, many international news accounts and some private accounts are included among these accounts. Just before Russia's Victory Day, Trump shamelessly erased Russia's achievements during World War II. While the Russian side strongly criticized, Kim Jong-un, who was absent from the Victory Day, actually avenged Russia.

Some analysts believe that the surface reason for the Indian government is "to prevent false information", but in fact aims to control the narrative of the conflict. For example, the video released by Pakistan showing the downing of an Indian aircraft might trigger doubts about the capabilities of the Indian military domestically, and blocking such content can maintain the official narrative of "successful action".

The company also stated that the administrative order from the Indian government indicated that if the company does not immediately comply, it will face huge fines, and the employees of the company in India may even face imprisonment risks. The company said that India's move clearly violates the basic right of freedom of speech and hinders the channels through which Indian citizens can obtain real information.

This move by India seems to suggest that Modi is indeed nervous. Originally, many people suspected that Modi was using military operations to divert domestic economic contradictions and stimulate nationalist sentiments among the public to establish an image of a strong leader. However, the situation has exceeded Modi's expectations, and the Indian army did not show its prowess in the clash between the two armies.

India has long strengthened digital control under the guise of "national security". In 2021, India banned 59 Chinese apps including TikTok and WeChat, and required social media platforms to delete controversial content. During this conflict, India further weaponized information warfare to suppress unfavorable international public opinion.

In the short term, Modi's government's military adventurism and information control have diverted domestic contradictions, but in the long run, they have exacerbated regional risks. After all, this tactic of Modi's can only temporarily fool domestic people, and once a full-scale war breaks out, India's military disadvantages will become evident.
