Pakistan Government's Twitter Account Withheld in India
According to Twitter guidelines, such action is only taken in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.
Media reports say that the Indian government took the step because of security reasons. This is not the first time the Pakistani government's Twitter account has been withheld. Similar action was taken in July this year although the account was reactivated later.
In June Twitter in India banned the official accounts of Pakistan's Embassies in the UN, Turkey, Iran and Egypt, and in August eight YouTube-based news channels - including one operating from Pakistan - and one Facebook account were blocked by India for posting “fake, anti-India content” online.
