Which is why Saleem Baig added that he will extend the sphere of this DTH crackdown to cable operators. Some cable operators illegally provide Indian DTH in Pakistan and the chairman is labeling it promotion of Indian DTH.
According to the Supreme Court, this crackdown was ordered to be put to work immediately. The objective behind that is to ‘benefit investment in local DTH and protect the cultural, social, religious and ethical values of Pakistan’.
Again, the PEMRA chairman made it clear in a media statement that the screening of Bollywood films at any Pakistani cinema won’t be permitted.
Saleem Baig said India attacks the same country where it mints money from through the distribution of its movies.
