In the midst of rising tensions between India and Pakistan in May 2025, rumors began circulating on social media claiming that Pakistan had hacked the official website of India’s ruling party, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). However, after reviewing verified sources and credible news reports, these claims have proven to be false.
🔍 What Really Happened?
According to multiple reliable reports, the BJP website was not hacked by Pakistan or its government. Instead, what actually happened was that the BJP itself blocked access to its website for users in Pakistan. Anyone trying to access the site from a Pakistani IP address is now met with an error message or redirection. This action was taken by the party or Indian authorities—not the result of any cyberattack.

⚠️ What About the Cyberattacks in May?
Yes, Pakistan-based hacker groups, including one calling itself the Pakistan Cyber Force, have claimed responsibility for cyberattacks on Indian defence-related websites in early May 2025. These attacks reportedly targeted servers linked to sensitive Indian military data.
However, it’s important to note:
- These attacks focused on defence infrastructure, not political parties.
- There has been no official confirmation or evidence that the BJP’s main website was among the hacked domains.

🧾 Previous Incidents Resurfacing
Some confusion also stems from older news. For example, past reports from 2019 and earlier showed that regional BJP websites (like in Chhattisgarh or Goa) were hacked years ago by groups claiming to be from Pakistan. But those were isolated incidents from the past and have no link to the current situation in May 2025.
