NEW DELHI -- India today termed as unfortunate Pakistan's ban on Indian TV and radio programmes and said it reflected the neighbouring country's lack of self-confidence.

"It shows lack of self-confidence on Pakistan's part. It is an unfortunate development," Spokesperson in the Ministry of External Affairs Vikas Swarup said, replying to a question.


Amid Indo-Pak tensions, Pakistan's media regulatory authority on Wednesday announced enforcing a complete ban on Indian TV and radio contents from Friday and warned that the licences of those found guilty of violating the ban will be suspended.


The ban extends to all Indian content on cable and radio being aired in Pakistan. The authority also decided to cancel one-sided rights given to Indian media by the government of former military dictator Pervez Musharraf in 2006.

Pakistan just reciprocate what bhartis were doing since ages whether with our media or cricket.. trade should be next, although we can not force traders due to WTO and other treaties, but govt should arrange a all parties conference with traders and urge them to impose self ban on trade with bharat..

I think he guff-up in understanding. Only in this thing, I believe Pakistanis are fortunate ones. Kaash hum bhi Ban kar skate. Zindgi kitni achi ho jaati.

I'm guessing this guy doesn't follow what's going on in India with regards to Pakistani content.

Yes it is a problem that you can't banned twice the same thing. Wait a minute! India didn't allowed Pakistani channel to be on air in India, not even entertainment channels.
