VETO streams Pakistan tri-series in India, raising questions over scope of MIB advisory

VETO, a subscription-free streaming platform operated by Veto Streaming Media, whose directors include India TV promoters Rajat Sharma and Ritu Dhawan, is streaming the ongoing tri-series featuring Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka in Pakistan, bringing the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting’s (MIB) May 2025 advisory on Pakistani-origin content into focus.

The advisory, issued following the Pahalgam terror attack, asked OTT platforms, media-streaming services and intermediaries operating in India to discontinue specified categories of content originating in Pakistan in the interest of national security.
