Centre asks YouTube to block National Dastak's channel

The Union government has directed YouTube to remove National Dastak's channel from its platform. But, neither the government nor YouTube has provided any reason for such an action. Another platform, Article 19 India, has also received a similar notice. National Dastak, under editor Shambhu Kumar Singh, has about 9.4 million subscribers on YouTube and describes itself as a voice of Dalits, Adivasis, farmers, women and oppressed people.
