ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has imposed a complete ban on airing India content on television and radio channels. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) said in a statement it would suspend the licences of any TV channels or radio stations without notice for flouting the ban. The regulator said the government had authorised the ban, which will come into force from today (Friday), and that it has also launched a crackdown on the illegal sale of Indian satellite TV. The move comes after weeks of tit-for-tat retaliation playing out in the entertainment arena, with Pakistani actors and technicians banned from working on Bollywood sets, then Bollywood films banned in Pakistani cinemas, then last week Indian cinemas refusing to show any films with Pakistani artists. Several Pakistani artists have been forced to leave India after Hindu nationalist groups piled up the pressure on Indian filmmakers.
