In its attempt to remove all web pages carrying offensive content, in the light of the recent NE exodus in the country, the Indian government has blocked 65 more web pages - taking the count up to 310. Reports confirm that one of the blocked web pages was created in the name of cricketer Imran Khan's political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf.
