In response to a petition filed in the Lahore High Court (LHC), Pakistan’s media watchdog confirmed that a private TV channel which not entitled to broadcast any Indian content and that the authority had already issued a number of show-cause notices to the company that distributes the channel in Pakistan.
Earlier, five domestic entertainment channels had filed a petition in the LHC, seeking closure of the transmissions of the said channel in Pakistan.
In response to the petition, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) produced copies of the channel’s licence in Pakistan, along with the approved mix of programmes, showing that Pemra had never allowed the broadcast of any Indian content in Pakistan.
According to Pemra, the channel is required to broadcast ‘foreign content’ only after dubbing it in Urdu.

India and Pakistan shares the same culture. Arabic culture is foreign culture.
" proper dubbing in Urdu "
Urdu itself is a language born in India!!!!!. You might want to start dubbing in Arabic!
All Indian channels and Indian contents shown in Pakistan by very Pakistani channels must not be allowed as those promote Indian culture and traditions and Language which is ruining Pakistani culture, traditions and our Urdu Language, If any such programme, drama or movie is broadcasted in Pakistan, it must go through proper censorship, proper dubbing in Urdu and its content must be suitable for family viewing.
