Centre blocks apps, website, social media accounts linked to banned ‘Sikhs For Justice’ organisation
The Ministry of Information & Broadcasting has ordered a ban on apps, website, and social media accounts linked to foreign-based “Punjab Politics TV” having close links with Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), an organization that has been declared unlawful under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
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”.
