KARACHI / ISLAMABAD / LAHORE, May 17: Bilawal House spokesperson Surendar Valasai has strongly condemned the Modi government’s unjust and politically motivated move to block both his personal X account (formerly Twitter) and the official account of the Media Cell Bilawal House within India. He said that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, already rattled by the bold and uncompromising stance of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, now seems so threatened by dissenting voices that even the spokesperson of Bilawal House has not been spared from censorship.

According to the press release issued by the Media Cell Bilawal House, Surendar Valasai, reacting to the Indian government’s action, said that this attempt to gag dissenting voices reflects the Modi regime’s fear of facing the truth. “Such cowardly actions are a clear manifestation of India’s undemocratic and intolerant mindset,” he added.

Valasai, a former senior journalist who currently serves as the spokesperson and Media Cell Incharge at Bilawal House, pointed out that he has consistently raised his voice against the exploitation of Dalits and other marginalized communities in India. He said that the Modi regime has a long-standing record of silencing minority voices within the country. “Now", he continued, "Modi has extended his campaign of censorship across borders — and I may well be the first Pakistani minority voice targeted in this alarming expansion of digital repression.”

Surendar Valasai calls upon international human rights organizations, press freedom advocates, and civil society across the globe to take note of this alarming pattern of digital suppression and stand in solidarity with all those who speak out against injustice—regardless of borders. 

Addressing the Indian Prime Minister directly, he said, “Modi! You may be able to block my X account, but you cannot silence the voices of millions around the world who are speaking out against the oppression and brutality taking place in India.”

Meanwhile, Surendar Valasai wrote in a post on his X account: "The Government of #India has had my (X) account banned within its borders for the 'crime' of exposing Indian falsehoods during its military standoff with #Pakistan. An ironic badge of honour, perhaps the only minority voice so unsettling to #Modi’s regime that it prompted official censorship. #PakistanZindabad  #DigitalApartheid."
