ISLAMABAD:

BJP blocks its website in Pakistan

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has blocked its website in Pakistan though its high-profile prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi’s portal can be accessed by internet users from Pakistan, Indian media reported on Tuesday.

“Error 1009 The owner of this website (bjp.org) has banned your IP address (—) on the country or region you are accessing it from,” says the page as one logs in from anywhere inside Pakistan.

Therefore, people logging in from Pakistan have to use Virtual Private Network, masking Pakistani IP address to log into the BJP website.
