Indian films

Published July 25, 2017

THE common Pakistani fails to comprehend the justification rendered by the Chief Justice of the Lahore High Court for screening Indian films and TV serials. Why can’t Iranian and Turkish films be released here rather than Indian ones?

The whole world knows about the brutal killings of innocent Kashmiris by Indian armed forces in India-held Kashmir.

Even with this Indian posture, the volume of trade is one to five in India’s favour. That too when Pakistan is bearing a debt of $70.20bn. The government is certainly not doing good to Pakistan by rendering this unprecedented favour to Modi’s India.
