New Delhi, July 7 -- The ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) on Monday constituted a high-level interdepartmental committee (IDC) to examine the contents of the Diljit Dosanjh-starrer film Satluj. This followed a day after the MIB directed OTT platform Zee5 to take down the film. According to people familiar with the matter, the order was made under Section 69A of the Information Technology (IT) Act, read with Part 3 of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021. Section 69A empowers the government to direct intermediaries to block or remove access to online content on specified grounds including public order, national security, and the sovereignty and integrity of India. Part 3 of the IT Rules extends this framework, in a limited way, to publishers of online curated content and digital news, empowering the MIB to issue such directions to OTT platforms and news publishers. A senior MIB official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the matter is now being examined by the IDC, which was constituted under Rule 14 of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021. The panel is empowered to make recommendations to the Centre on content-related complaints. HTC...
