ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Election Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) continues its crackdown against illegal Indian Direct To Home (DTH) devices and cable operators telecasting Indian content in the country, ARY News reported Sunday.

According to details, Pemra and customs officials raided several markets in Islamabad and seized DTH, receivers and C-Lines. 4,131 illegal Indian DTHs, Low-noise block downconverters (LNBs) and C-Line receivers during the crackdowns.

Pemra spokesman said that the media regulatory authority is also taking action against 1762 cable operators and seized their equipment.

Meanwhile, regional teams of the media regulatory authority also carried out raids Sialkot, Gujranwala, Mandi Bahauddin and Gujrat.

Pemra has placed a blanket ban on airing Indian content on television or radio.

The bilateral ties between Pakistan and India have deteriorated after Pakistan raised the issue of Indian atrocities in Kashmir and martyrdom of separatist leader Burhan Wani, at United Nations while India accusing Pakistan of sponsoring terrorism.

The neighboring country had claimed on September 29 that its forces had carried out a surgical strike within Pakistani territory.

Indian film producers association have banned Pakistani actors and technicians, while already completed film starring Pakistani actors, are facing hurdles in release.

Yes, terror promoting channels are banned all over the world. That may be a reason. Indian Channels like PEACE Tv was banned as well.

I am not against you banning Indian channels at all. It was a surprise to me that you allowed them to run so long. Pretty stupid, IMO. Better late than never. The Dharmic cultural invasion can do damage in the long run.

This is serious raid, But nothing can stop watching indian dramas & programs due to internet. Ban internet Now. lolzzzz

ARY and Hum entertainment were terror promoting channels hmm
The reason they cited in another article was drama serial Dastaan spreading religious tensions which was an odd reason because three years later Zindago aired the same drama with a different name

I dont think Indian dramas would have any effect on our dramas
Reason?
Plus in our dramas women seeking divorce is not shown as something that will destroy earth
Also
We dont have heroines turning into flies
Pakistani dramas are closer to reality and in many cases tackle taboo topics while Indian dramas play along the libes of submissive wife/maid role
The only Indian drama i really liked was Tariq Mehta because it looked real

This is serious raid, But nothing can stop watching indian dramas & programs due to internet. Ban internet Now. lolzzzz

We cant stop them from watching dramas and movies by internet we just wont provide them airtime through mainstream cable which has a much bigger audience

 

[Zee-shaun]

Keep up the good work PEMRA.

I don't watch soaps - Indian or otherwise. So, can't comment.

That may be because Pakistan and the World have different definitions of what can be called 'terrorism'. I am not sure, but may be that is one reason.

Not even while changing channels?

Indian soaps are more about conforming to conservative norms and most give out a regressive message anywho its your country i was just giving you my observation

there was a ban from 80's till mid 2000's in the days of VCR and yet bollywood was hugely popular. Such exercises from both sides will bourne no effect it only will increase the prices for users and thats all !

Hum and ary entertainment only have saas baho type dramas(they started dramas on taboo topics very recently) with occasional airing of good scripted tele films you banned them only ;because they were Pakistani channels the same reason we are banning channels for being Indian and going against cable operators who go against the ban

At hat time Lollywood was on its last stages now it has revived itself we couldnt even imagine budgets of Pakistani movies going above 2 million $ 5 years ago now we are seeing movies with high budgets and on issue of channel bans well twin cities already had this ban we didnt stop watching tv

 

[jha]

Well Done. A complete ban on Indian films/tv programs will help Pakistani industry and society.

 

[Basel]

This is serious raid, But nothing can stop watching indian dramas & programs due to internet. Ban internet Now. lolzzzz

It's also about stopping illegal earnings of India.

Industry yes society it will make zero difference

I must say - that makes Pakistan a good learner.
