The official Twitter account of the Pakistan government has been withheld in India but the cause of the move and a response from the IT ministry is yet to be received. 

A message is displayed, "Account Withheld @GovtofPakistan's account has been withheld in India in response to a legal demand", whenever someone tries to access the Twitter account of the Pakistan government. 

According to a notice served by the social media giant, the government's Twitter account has been blocked from being viewed in India in response to a legal demand.

The guidelines of the company are framed in such a way that they can compel it to withhold entire accounts in response to a valid legal demand, such as a court order.
