In the wake of outrage, Pakistan has unblocked India Today's website, which had a magazine cover carrying its Army Chief Raheel Sharif's picture. India Today's online portal (IndiaToday.in) was blocked in Pakistan yesterday, according to a report in The Express Tribune. As per the report, the move came despite the Lahore High Court disposing of a petition seeking a directive to the government to block access to the website. Referring to an India Today magazine cover that went viral, petitioner Abdul Hameed in his plea had said that the magazine had published a 'derogatory photo' of Pakistan's Army chief General Raheel Sharif. Earlier, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) had decided to crack down on illegal satellite dishes and Indian content that was being aired across Pakistan.
