The government has issued a new order to OTT platforms in India amid rising tensions with Pakistan. The Information and Broadcasting ministry has told all streaming platforms to stop broadcasting Pakistani content with immediate effect. “In the interest of national security, all OTT platforms, media streaming platforms and intermediaries operating in India are advised to discontinue the web-series, films, songs, podcasts and other streaming media content, whether made available on a subscription based model or otherwise, having its origins in Pakistan with immediate effect,” read a notice shared by ANI.

According to the advisory, several terrorist attacks in India have been established to have cross- border linkages with Pakistan based State and non-State actors. Recently, on 22.04.2025, the terrorist attack in Pahalgam led to the killing of several Indians, one Nepali citizen and injuries to a number of others

The advisory reads, “The Code of Ethics under the IT Rules mandates publishers to exercise due caution regarding content that threatens the security or sovereignty of the country or undermines India's foreign relations.”

This came post Operation Sindoor, initiated by the Indian Air Force, which eliminated 70 terrorists. According to government sources, India conducted 24 missile strikes across nine locations in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. This operation, code-named Operation Sindoor, was reportedly carried out in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack which claimed the lives of 26 civilians in Baisaran valley of J&K.

“It was a statement of strategic resolve. Through 24 precisely coordinated missile strikes across nine terrorist-linked locations, India demonstrated that it would no longer tolerate cross-border terrorism, nor the complicity of state institutions that enable it,” said a source.
