Meta has banned a prominent Muslim news page on Instagram in India at the government's request, the account's founder said Wednesday, denouncing the move as ‘censorship’ as hostilities escalate between India and Pakistan.

Instagram users in India trying to access posts from the handle @Muslim -- a page with 6.7 million followers -- were met with a message stating: ‘Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content.’
