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.
