Lahore High Court Lifts Ban Imposed On Airing Of Indian Plays In Pakistan

The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Tuesday lifted a ban imposed by Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) on the airing of Indian teleplays, declaring it null and void as the federal government had no objections regarding the same. According to a Pakistani English Daily, TV channel Filmazia's parent organisation, sought to overturn the ban as it had not been imposed by the Government of Pakistan.
The ban of Bollywood movies was lifted back in February this year, however the ban on airing Indian content on Pakistani TV continued till date.
The petition challenged the Pemra circular as being beyond the powers of the regulatory body and the Constitution, and claimed that the government was indulging in "selective patriotism" because even though Indian movies were allowed to be screened all over the country, they could not be aired on television.
