Ofcom has suspended the broadcast licence of Khalsa Television Limited (KTV) after an investigation found the channel to be in breach of broadcasting rules.
KTV broadcasts to the UK’s Sikh community.
An investigation by the media regulator found the Prime Time discussion show had included material likely to incite violence.
The presenter had made of number of statements during the programme, which taken together were seen to promote violence, including murder, as an acceptable and necessary form of action to further the Khalistani cause.
The Khalistan movement wants to create a homeland for Sikhs by establishing a sovereign state.
Ofcom says this was a serious breach of our rules on incitement of crime and disorder.
Khalsa Television Limited now has 21 days in which to make representations to Ofcom, when the regular will decide whether to permanently revoke the licence.
