Reference News website reported on May 4th according to a report from AFP on May 3rd, New Delhi expanded its measures against Pakistan on the 3rd, prohibiting Indian users from accessing the social media accounts of Pakistani actors and cricket athletes, while expanding the trade embargo and stopping postal services between the two countries.
The Instagram account of Imran Khan, former Prime Minister of Pakistan and former captain of the national cricket team, has been banned from access in India due to the ban measures.
Fawad Khan and Atif Aslam, who often appear in Bollywood movies, as well as many other athletes' social media accounts have also been banned from access.
Arshad Nadeem, the gold medalist of javelin throw at the Olympic Games from Pakistan, can no longer be accessed by Indian users on his Instagram account.
When Indian users try to access these accounts, they will see a message indicating that the account is inaccessible due to legal requirements.
In addition, the Ministry of Communications of India issued a statement on the 3rd stating that it had "decided to suspend the exchange of all categories of mail and packages entering India by air routes and land routes from Pakistan".
Indian media reported on the 3rd citing instructions from the Directorate General of Shipping of India that ships flying the Pakistani flag are prohibited from entering any Indian ports, and Indian ships are also prohibited from entering Pakistan.
However, this move can largely be seen as symbolic, as these two neighboring countries have frequently erupted into diplomatic conflicts over the decades and failed to establish close economic relations. (Compiled/translated by Hu Xue)
