You snatch my words, still thanks. When Pakistani contents are not allowed in India, Indian contents should be totally banned in Pakistan. Even otherwise also.

Whatever pakistani is good, is allowed in India. Good pakistani artists are not only allowed but cheered, sometimes even more than their indian counterpart. You can't expect channels to air content which are too religious or low in entertainment quality, when their competitors are serving better.
