India blocks apps, SM accounts of banned Sikh outfit

The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting (MIB) has ordered blocking of apps, website, and social media accounts of foreign-based Punjab Politics TV having close links with the outlawed Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a government statement said Tuesday.

“Relying on intelligence inputs that the channel was attempting to use online media to disturb public order during the ongoing State Assembly Elections, the Ministry used emergency powers under the IT Rules on 18th February to block the digital media resources of ‘Punjab Politics TV’,” the statement read.

The government further said that the contents of the blocked apps, website, and social media accounts had the potential to “incite communal disharmony and separatism and were found to be detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India” and its security.

It was also observed that the launch of new apps and social media accounts were timed to “gain traction” during the ongoing State elections.

“The Government of India remains vigilant and committed to secure the overall information environment in India and thwart any actions having the potential to undermine India’s sovereignty and integrity,” the statement added.
