This ban should have never been applied in the first place. Pathetic politics
For the past seven years, Pakistani actors and artists have been banned from working in India. It has refused talented artists including Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Atif Aslam, Ali Zafar and more from working in India. This has led to them relocating to their home country since the ban was imposed. Now, in a recent news, the Bombay High Court has rejected a petition that sought to ban the artists from working in the country.
The Bombay High Court heard a petition filed by a cineworker, which sought to ban the Pakistani artists from working in India. Justice Sunil B Shukre and Justice Firdosh P Pooniwalla observed that the petition had lacked merit, and observed that it was a retrograde step to promote cultural harmony and unity. As per a report in News18, the court said in its ruling that “activities promoting peace, harmony, and tranquillity, including arts, music, sports, culture, and dance, transcend national boundaries and contribute to unity and harmony within and between nations.”
