Pakistani Olympic gold medallist Arshad Nadeem’s Instagram account has been blocked in India following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26. The action comes amidst rising tensions, as India suspended all visas for Pakistani nationals. Nadeem, who set an Olympic record with a 92.97m throw in Paris 2024, recently declined an invitation to the NC Classic by Indian javelin star Neeraj Chopra. Chopra faced backlash for the invite, issued before the attack, and defended his decision as a gesture of sporting respect. He condemned the hate directed at him and his family, stressing patriotism and the spirit of athletics. (PC: PTI)
