Senior journalist Hamid Mir has pointed out that while his X account has been banned for users in India, some people there were still reading his posts “by using a VPN”.

“We were using the same VPN in Pakistan when X was banned here before the war,” he said, referring to the over a year-long ban on X in Pakistan.

“At least Indians learned a good thing from Pakistanis. VPN Zindabad,” Mir quipped.
