KARACHI: MMA slates vulgar TV ads



By Our Staff Reporter


KARACHI, March 26: The Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) on Monday, expressing concern over the vulgar advertisements being produced and telecast in the country, has urged the authorities to check this growing menace that is affecting the morals of society.

In a statement issued here, MMA leaders Mohammad Hussain Mehnati (MNA) and Laiq Khan (MNA) said that various cell phone companies’ advertisements full of vulgarity and against the family values and morals of society, were being telecast through numerous TV channels.

They said that so-called enlightened rulers were looking the other way while the family system was crippling under these vulgarity-stuffed ads.

They said that the advertisement agencies producing such commercials were patronized by the government.

They demanded that the government should ask Pemra to implement its rules.

They said that unrest was spreading among the masses over this flood of vulgarity that was allowed to go unchecked by the authorities.
