In a major move following Operation Sindoor, the Indian government has banned all Pakistani-origin content from OTT platforms. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting issued an advisory on May 8, 2025, directing platforms to remove Pakistani films, web series, songs, and podcasts, citing national security and public order concerns. This decision comes after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 civilians. The ban was enforced under the IT Rules 2021, aimed at blocking content that could threaten India’s sovereignty. Several Pakistani artists’ social media accounts have also been restricted within India. (PC: Times Now)
