Chouhan said Madhya Pradesh is a land of religious and spiritual importance, adding that “The state government will take necessary steps” in the direction of the banning of “objectionable web series.”

Thakur has been vocal against shows/series on OTT platforms, contending that they affect social relations adversely.
Earlier in March, taking a tough stand on complaints against content on OTT platforms, Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur said vulgarity and abusive language was not acceptable in the name of creativity.
