Earlier, the Foreign Office had confirmed that the official Twitter handles of Pakistani missions in Iran, Egypt, Turkey, and the United Nations were banned in India.
Urging Twitter to restore immediate access to the accounts, Foreign Office spokesperson Asim Iftikhar had said that diminishing space for plurality of voice and access to information in India is extremely alarming.
