Pakistan bans Indian shows

It's a sad news for all the Bollywood fans in Pakistan, the apex court of the country has once again introduced the ban on Indian content. The Supreme court recently, put a ban on Indian films and Television shows from being broadcast on the local channels. The decision came after the court was hearing a case filed by the United Producers Association related to the broadcast of foreign content on Pakistani television channels as reported by dawn.

According to the same reports, during the hearing, the chief justice of Pakistan's Supreme court Mian Saqib Nisar ordered a ban on the Hindi content and made it clear that the authorities should show only the content which is appropriate for the audience. “They are trying to (obstruct the construction) of our dam and we cannot even ban their channels?” Nisar said.

Well, this is not the first time that the Pakistani media has imposed the ban on the Hindi content. Earlier in the year 2017, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) introduced the ban. The restriction was then imposed on the Indian content which was airing on both televisions as well as the FM radio channels.

However, the ban was lifted up soon after the Lahore court declared it void and null as the government had no objection regarding the same.
