Instagram accounts of several Pakistani cricketers, including Babar Azam's, blocked in India… What’s your opinion?

Recently, Indian users noticed they could no longer access Instagram profiles of several Pakistani cricketers, including star player Babar Azam. While no official statement has been released, the timing has raised eyebrows, especially with rising India-Pakistan tensions. For some, this move is justified—they believe such restrictions reflect the current diplomatic and public sentiment. Others, however, argue that sports should remain neutral ground. Cricket has always been a bridge between the two nations, and blocking cricketers’ social media accounts feels like punishing the wrong people.
 
Then there are those who suspect it’s just a temporary glitch or an issue with Meta’s regional content policies. Whatever the reason, it’s sparked an emotional response among fans on both sides. Should politics spill over into the world of sports and entertainment? Or do these actions send a strong message in today’s sensitive climate? Cast your vote and share your view.
