Petition Filed in Pakistan Court Seeking Ban on Indian Movies

A petition was filed at the Lahore High Court on September 23 seeking a ban on Indian movies in the country until the resolution of the Kashmir issue. The petition, filed by Advocate Azhar Saddique, alleged that exhibiting Indian movies in local cinemas hurts the sentiments of the people of Kashmir and Pakistan, both of whom who are against the atrocities committed by Indian security forces in the region.

It said further the Indian movies, being opposed to Pakistan's Kashmir policy, are a'big hurdle' in freedom movement of the people in the valley.
"To express solidarity with Kashmiris the Pakistani government should be ordered to put immediate ban on exhibition of Indian movies across the country," it pleaded.
The ban, argued the petitioner, would be a firm response to India, where the government and other extremist organisations are threatening Pakistani actors to leave India after Uri attack.

Fabulous move. Just hope they give up watching pirated Indian movies to express solidarity with their long list of causes

Would be nice if they could also file a petition for their actors not to be part of Indian movies.

I would say, Pakistan should make their own Bollywood yaar, make small budget films with tight scripts, good editing and background music, people will appreciate it ! Koi jaroorat nahin inn BW ke 50+ buddho ke films dekhne ki ! Haan heroins kam kapde nahin pahnegi, bas wohin ek disappointment hogi !

Superb move and please ask your actors not to work in bw aswell.

the sad part is, ke in sab mein artist ka koi kasoor nahi hota lekin nishana phir bhi wohi bante hai.

Lollywood is progressing and they should invest their time n talent there

Well if its actors thing !!!ur actors are working in our country too
They are branding our brands too
Kareena kapoor last year brand the warda lawn collection!!
Warda is the big brand here
Om puri worked in movie i guess actor in law !!
And if our actors are working there u r not doing any favours on us they are hard earning like ur actors
U guys like fawad khan that why he is working their
Atif aslam songs are loved their thats why he is successful singer there
Rahat fateh is legend thats why his songs are so much liked there!!

Its our bad luck that we cant give them such success but they are earning such respect
If pc goes abroad and earn fane now thats like india ka name roshan ho raha hai and agar hamara actor ap ka mulk mai aka apka bara actors k sath kam kr raha to ehsan jtaya jata unko mulk se nikalna ki dhmkia di jati!!
Haran kun bat hai


@topic no such petition is filed!!its war against issue not artist are involved in it
And i beleive pakistan has that much hospitality to respect neighboring country artist!!!!

Its war between two states!
Over some strong issues but that doenst mean that instead of spreading peace we start bashing others and all
