ISLAMABAD:
Shopkeepers have been told not to stock the controversial Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Call of Duty: Black Ops II after the All Pakistan CD, DVD, Audio Casette Traders and Manufacturers Association received multiple complaints against the games, The Telegraph reported on Sunday.
According to the report, the first-person shooter games show Pakistan’s security forces collaborating with terrorists.
President of the association Saleem Memon said he had written to members ordering against selling these games.
"The problem is that there are things that are against Pakistan and they have included criticism of our army," he was quoted in The Telegraph report.
"They show the country in a very poor light."
Memon added that “there was a danger children would be brainwashed into thinking foreign agents were at war inside Karachi, possibly leading them into the arms of militants.”
"These games show a misleading idea of what is happening in the city. You don't get the CIA all the way through Grand Theft Auto," he said.
