The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday said it had blocked apps, website and social media accounts of Punjab Politics TV.
The Ministry said the channel had close links with the banned outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), and it attempted to use the online media to disturb public order during the ongoing Punjab Assembly election.
The SFJ was proscribed by the government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in 2019. Members of the organisation have been accused of trying to revive terrorism in Punjab. It’s chief, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, has also been declared a terrorist.
