The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) has informed the Supreme Court that it has issued an order of "caution" against Sudarshan News for its "UPSC Jihad" show, as it finds various utterances and audio-visual content of the show "are not in good taste, offensive and has likelihood of promoting communal attitudes".

After taking into account written and oral submissions of the channel, the Ministry, in the order, said that it is "of the opinion that while freedom of speech of expression is a fundamental right, the tone and tenor of the episodes telecast do indicate that the channel has, through various utterances and audio-visual content, breached the Programme Code".
