Ranaut wrote, "The law of the land allows an unimaginable amount of violence and nudity on OTT platforms without consequence or censorship. Distorting real-life events to suit politically motivated agendas seems to be acceptable. Communists and leftists across the globe have the freedom to express anti-national sentiments, but as a nationalist, I'm frustrated by how no OTT platform supports films that uphold the integrity and unity of Bharat. It feels like censorship is only applied to those who want to preserve national unity and depict historical facts. This selective censorship is deeply demotivating and unjust." ‘IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack’: Government Summons Netflix India Content Head Over Controversy Surrounding Web Series.
