There have been numerous reports stating that, the Vikatan website has been blocked by the central government. Many users from different locations have reported that, they are unable to access the Vikatan website. However, as of now, there has been no official announcement from the central government regarding the blocking of the Vikatan website.

Earlier, Vikatan Plus, the digital magazine of Vikatan, published a cover cartoon (Feb 10) highlighting the issue of Indians being handcuffed and deported from the United States, while Prime Minister Modi remained silent on the matter. This cartoon was criticized by BJP supporters, and BJP state president Annamalai reportedly lodged a complaint against Vikatan with the central government.
