MeitY Blocks Pakistan-Based OTT Platform’s Website, Social Media Sites

The authorities on Monday issued instructions for blocking a Pakistan-based OTT platform’s web site, two cellular purposes, 4 social media accounts and good TV app, saying a sequence being proven by it was detrimental to India’s nationwide safety and integrity.

The platform Vidly TV had launched an online sequence titled Sevak: The Confessions on the anniversary of the 26/11 Mumbai terror assaults and was discovered to be detrimental to the nationwide safety, sovereignty and integrity of India, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting mentioned.

Three episodes of the online sequence have been launched until date, it mentioned.

“Action against Pakistan-based Vidly TV follows the assessment that the provocative and wholly untrue web series Sevak was sponsored by Pakistan’s info ops apparatus,” senior adviser on the ministry Kanchan Gupta mentioned on Twitter.

The web-series portrayed an anti-India narrative on delicate historic occasions and topics of nationwide significance comparable to Operation Blue Star and its aftermath, demolition of the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya, killing of a Christian missionary named Graham Staines, Malegaon blasts, Samjhauta Express blasts and inter-state river water dispute associated to Sutlej Yamuna Link canal.
