The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has imposed a ban on the broadcast of advertisements produced in India or those featuring Indian artists.
The authority released a communique, notifying all the television and radio channels that the broadcast of Indian channels and content has been prohibited since the Supreme Court’s orders issued in October last year.
The letter states that the advertisements of various products “either produced in India or carrying Indian characters/talent [are] being aired on electronic media.”

It stated that this act is a negation of the state policy.
“Besides, the appearance of Indian characters on Pakistani TV screens aggravates miseries of Pakistanis who are perturbed over Indian atrocities on Kashmiri brethren,” maintained the statement.
Therefore, the authority has announced to prohibit airing all advertisements featuring Indian talent ‘with immediate effect’. The products mentioned in particular by PEMRA for airing Indian talent in their advertisements include:
- Dettol soap,
- Surf Excel powder,
- Pantene shampoo,
- Head & Shoulders shampoo,
- Lifebuoy shampoo,
- Fogg body spray,
- Sunsilk shampoo,
- Knorr noodles,
- Sufi,
- Fair & Lovely face wash,
- Safeguard soap.
This ban will remain in place till the advertisements are produced in Pakistan and feature Pakistani actors and talent. The authority also warned of legal action against the broadcasters in case of non-compliance.
