In light of the recent Pakistan-India conflict, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority has enforced a serious blanket ban on airing of Indian content on Pakistani TV channels and Radio channels.

A new order was issued a few hours ago in which PEMRA instructed Pakistani TV and FM radio channels to NOT air any kind of Indian content, be it dramas or films, to avoid any repercussions.

In an earlier legislation when Shaukat Aziz was the Prime Minister, Pakistani radio and TV channels all had permission to air Indian content of up to 6% every day.

However, this trend is currently altering since the situation has now worsened after the surgical attacks and MNS threats to ban Pakistani artists in India.  IMPPA imposed a ban on Indian movies featuring Pakistani artists and in retaliation, PEMRA has now banned Indian content on all Pakistani TV channels- Indian movies in Pakistani cinemas have already been banned.

After the hateful controversy spurred by Indian extremist party MNS, menacing Pakistani actors in India to leave the country and threatening about banning Bollywood films starring Pakistani actors, they also put a ban on Pakistani TV dramas being aired in India.

PEMRA has clarified that based on the latest government policies, all Indian dramas and shows are now banned from being broadcasted.
