Guidelines to govern streaming platforms are “almost ready”, Minister of Information & Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar said in a minute-long statement in the Rajya Sabha on Tuesday. Javadekar said:
“The issue raised by Mahesh Poddar-ji on OTT platforms is very important. Everyday, we receive both suggestions and complaints on the subject. Guidelines and directives are almost ready, and they will be put in place soon.”
The remarks are the clearest assertion by the government so far that they are prepared to take a harder line on regulating streaming services if they don’t agree to the government’s demands on self-regulation. Javadekar sidestepped questions on OTT regulation in written parliamentary responses this month in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, choosing instead to make an announcement on impending guidelines in person.

A tale of U-turns on the three farm laws
While the fault line on the farm bills may be the prime minister versus the rest of the political outfits, PM Modi on Tuesday dug in his heels and attacked the Opposition for using the shoulders of the farmers to fire. PM said that the Opposition leaders used to bat for these reforms when they were in power but, now that this historic step has been taken, they are misleading them.
