RSS Forms Panel to Recommend Regulation of OTT Content Over Cultural ConcernsPreviousNext

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has formed an informal panel to recommend regulation of OTT (Over the Top) content, citing concerns over 'cultural pollution' and moral impact on families and youth. The group includes pracharaks and former vice-chancellors and plans to consult legal experts before submitting proposals to the Union Ministry of Culture. This initiative follows RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's earlier remarks linking OTT content to moral corruption.
