Previously, Pakistani channels were allowed to air six percent content during 24-hour transmission cycle but now television channels, FM radio stations and cable operators are strictly asked to stop airing of Indian content and follow the new policy, which suggests that Salman Khan’s much-awaited reality show 'Bigg Boss 10' might not be aired there.
PEMRA recommended that permission to air Indian content in Pakistan should be linked with the Indian government’s decision to allow Pakistani content on Indian channels. Pakistan is taking this decision after few political parties in India asked Pakistani artists to leave the country after Uri attack.
On September 18, terrorists had attacked the army's brigade headquarters at Uri which left 19 soldiers dead. Last week, the army carried out retaliatory surgical strikes on terrorist launch pads last week in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
