[Blackwater]

ISLAMABAD: Ten entertainment television channels in Pakistan have been slapped with Rs 10 million fine for airing excessive Indian and foreign content, a media report said on Monday.

Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority imposed the fine on the channels and issued warning letters to them to desist from such practice in future, The News report said.

It quoted a document of Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage, as saying that the local channels were airing excessive Indian content, much more than the prescribed limits.

PEMRA monitoring system is working round the clock to ensure the compliance of code of conduct and code of advertising, the report said.

Private TV channels of the country have been authorized to air only 10 per cent foreign content and 60 per cent of that 10 per cent should be Indian or other content and 40 per cent of the 10 per cent may be English content.

I totally endorse this decision.

There is such great soap operas going on in Pakistan like the action, sorrow, tears, with the Pak Taliban vs the rest going berserk, a whole lot of bomb blasts, gory genuine blood oozing scenes, the sectarian violence, Musharraf jailed, et al and they want to show Indian soaps?!

Silly chaps!

Isn't watching Kafir Indian programs Haram as per Islam ? Pakis should completely ban Kafir programs instead of imposing penalties !

They are talibanising themselves through their democratic govt, nevermind Pakistan Taliban. I think they want to improve the market for more movies like WAAR, where they show evil Indians lol.

I like how Pakistan likes to deny that they were also Indians hardly 65 years ago....BUT still like to claim IVC as a pakistani civilization
