The government on Thursday directed online streaming platforms to immediately cease all Pakistan-origin content, marking the latest in a series of security measures following the April 22 Pahalgam attacks, in which Pakistan-based terrorists killed 26 civilians in Jammu and Kashmir. The order, issued by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, asked "all OTT platforms, media streaming services, and intermediaries operating in India to immediately discontinue web series, films, songs, podcasts, and other streaming content originating from Pakistan", whether offered through subscription-based models or otherwise.
Instagram accounts of former Jal band member and Mere Humsafar actor Farhan Saeed, Ali Sethi of Pasoori fame, Saba Qamar (Hindi Medium), and Adnan Siddiqui (Mom) are also inaccessible in India. "Account not available in India. This is because we complied with a legal request to restrict this content": this message was displayed when users in India tried to access the pages of these artistes.
