Ban Indian channels as well.

Good step. Next ban all news about India .and stop playing cricket with India.

Very good decision by the CJP. He should also forbid the airing of Indian filmi faces in advertisements made for various Pakistani products, as well.

Give us alternate DTH ......

ok fine this will be good for both countries

Good

Good move, no more foreign channels who spread propaganda against our honorable army, judiciary and other institutions and favour some of their close associates and politicians. Also, we have to closely monitor some of our channels, selected anchors and politicians, who continuously malign our institutions and portray black picture of our country - we all know, who they are.

Pakistan closing its door.

Good. Avoid the garbage.

@M. Emad closing doors of vulgarity, propaganda, cultural attack, ethics and so on? Yes then it’s a great decision. Which doors you want to open?

A very good order by CJP. I hope this will be implemented strongly this time. We have been tired of seeing Indian Stuff on all channels during prime time. It is not that I'm against Indian dramas as some are very good indeed but when open the TV, we should know that we are in Pakistan.

@kitkat

Please don't get sarcastic. Lately there has been too much Indian stuff on our local Channels. I doubt if Pakistani stuff is even 50% of total Indian content that is being shown on Pakistani TV.

Ban Indian muvies in cinemas if you have guts...

Ban morning shows, concert them to educational or moral building platforms.

Good decision. Also ban all indian movie in pakistan which is the main revenue generating source for india

Then why are you dying to play cricket with India when India doesn't want to play with you

Great move by the wonderful Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Keep it up and hang on tough.

@Syed major source f income for Indian movies s pakistan market? Srsly? It wont even affect Indian movie industry

Just curious to know , what will India loose in this regard?

People will watch it on YouTube.

Yes, get rid of all Indian channels, from now on only Chinese channels should be allowed

Excellent move with perfect timing and should be calculated move. Keep it up and be confident and firm on this decision

Well done...

Good decision.

Stop showing indian movies.

@Ajin Vincent on the contrary pakistani cinemas are surviving on ondian movies.

Brilliant decision.

Ban indian movies on busses as well.

Will this help?

Why did CJP did not ban showing of Indian movies? These should also be banned forthwith.

Ban channels on dish service as well

@Babu to what?

We should at least allow a maximum of 20% foreign content on our TV channels. Shutting down ourselves from the rest of the world is not the answer in today’s globalised society.

Pakistani channels are much better and more interesting than Indians therefore should be banned permanently.

Good news

Please ban News about India also in media.

For the first time, I want to thank CJP. So many ads made in India are aired regularly on Pakistani TV. These need to be banned. Any company that approaches Indian models or advertisers must be fined and such content banned from airing.

Not sure if this will help anyone.

But why is there so much demand for Indian contents in the first place. No one wants to know!

Indian culture is deeply Penetrated and can't be stopped . Industries are survived due to hindi movies.

It should include Indian adds made in India by local companies or MNCs

More than imposing ban we need to educate our masses about the cultural assault waged by inimical states .willful rejection by the people is durable counter

@Waseem Bahadur Excellent... well said!

All the folks hailing the decision here would be searching for the Indian content on the other browser tab..

@shahzad Khaliq . Their channels haven’t got anything interesting so don’t know why you want alternatives. Our channels have far superior quality dramas and programmes

@Asif superb

BAN all Indian content in Print n Electronic media. But who will make sure from ARY HUM GEO etc...

Forbidden fruit is always sweet

Pakistanis will watch all content illegally. Why not ban bollywood songs in parties and functions?

Ban them.....

We should ban our own news channels as well as most of these are just spreading non-sense and negativity.

Now would be a good time to ban all Pakistani artists from performing in India.

"only air appropriate content".

But there is nothing "appropriate" apart from anti-Pakistan propaganda!

Great decision by The CJ. We must protect our culture. Indian content or channels should not be aired here. They don't air our content or channels. We must be nationalistic. It's high time!

Very good decision by SC to enforce ban on Indian stuff on our medid. What is wrong with our public to watch their movies and by their stuff when India has no good intentions for Pakistan? Love our country Pakistan.

Well done and well said ……..keep it up

I am shocked how come other Indian content continue to feature in Pakistan. They mistreat our cricketers, actors, singers and what not.

@Nisar Ahmed. Because they haven't fulfilled their agreement. Money is owed to Pakistan.

Salute !

What are Indians fuming about? They banned our artists and never even ever aired Pakistani channels in India. Atleast Pakistan tried.

All criticizing here will secretly go and watch these very shows.

Judge sahab try banning Indian Movies in theaters. Take it as a dare. Looking forward.

Good move..Please also ban the artiest from your side who is coming to India for fame and money...

@NACParis If Pakistani content is better, then people will automatically watch it over outside content, and people are wise enough to make their own decisions, banning things basically says you don't trust the people at large with their choices.

Piracy and criminal behavior increases with banning things which ultimately harms the country.

This is why a judge should not make policy. How will this impact India at all? And what does this have to do with dams.

Doesn't Pakistan do this every few years or so? What was the outcome of all the previous bans?

What concerns me is that this is a policy decision that should rest with the Executive Branch of the Government. Not through the courts. Courts should only be allowed to hear cases in which a crime against current penal code or any other subversion of rights enshrined in our Constitution. I therefore also have trouble with how suo-moto actions are taken on the same principle.

Good job !

Ban this nonsense forever for all !

Mian Saqib Nisar sir please ban Indian movies as well.

Pls ban Indian channel, as they didn't allow our channels in India even they didn't show our movie.....

Go to entertainment page of DAWN and see how much bollywood is there, this shows Pakistan cannot put a realistic ban on Indian content.

as a Indian i fully support this.

@Neo their is not any agreement their is only an Mou and Mou is not an agreement go and study in law the meaning of mou

No more Indian rubbish on our TV screen please!

Very good move. Thank you.

I thought it was already banned in Pakistan. Indians are not going to lose anything by the banning.

Let the ban stay in place. India has shown nothing but hostility towards us. Besides, it’s better for our kids if we stay away from Indian vulgar contents.

Good decision. Since Indian TV channels don’t air Pakistani content, so we should do the same. No need for confidence-building, because India is in no mood for that.

Excellent move. It was destroying our culture. But at the same time, don't want mullah stuff on the screen all the time as well.

Good decision sir

It seems the CJ is running the country. He is so. good that it is a pity he is going to retire soon.

Courts can interpret the law and government decisions. They cannot take executive role and pass rules. Then, what for the Government and Parliament ?

Yes, there should be like educational sessions, cummunication skills and many more things ...our young generation are wasting time to see such thing

Bravo! we're fully supported chief justice of Pakistan move.

I think Pakistani actors, singers should also not work in Indian movies.

Excellent move by CJP. Good job.

@Syed huh?! India's main revenue is from showing its films in Pakistan? Brother, you need a serious lesson in geopolitical finance.. :)

@Garib Awam ki_Awaz: Why don't people simply switch channels?

Some Pakistani popular products ads cast all Indians in it and is aired every day.Supreme court must intervene and asked the channel/ producer of the ad to present these casts before court if they are Pakistani and present in Pakistan. This practice is being carried since many years and no check.

Bad JUDGEMENT!

Thank you Mr. Chief for having needful measures against Indian channels. We should step forward in other lines too.

Excellent decision CJP. With wise and incorruptible men like you and PM Khan, Pakistan is in good hands. Paks can hope again. Pakistan can be great again.

Please ban indian movies also in cinema

Only the judge can tell in what way India is obstructing the construction of dams..it’s a news for me

Banning of media and channels is neither democratic nor in the interest of the public’s rights. The courts or the government does not have the right to prevent the people from reading or watching whatever they want. In the end, such restrictions don’t work anyway

Great move. Ban everything Indian including Bollywoodies on billboards and other ads.

Finally a Judge who shows justice and understanding of Indian agenda

Good job CJP. A permanent ban on everything India would best.

All channels and contents should be monitored and cleared by the only organisation we trust & respect. We were better off when PTV was the only channel. We should protest against the enemy funded channels and ban them. The CJP should take action against them and put heavy fines/jail sentences if there are violations.

Whoever is calling this brilliant decision are sick in head. The ego on either side will not do any good. Let’s try to open up and bridge the gap. A good gesture from us will influence the hearts across the border. We have more commonalities than differences. Why we always think that showing flexibility will prove that we are weak? Are we having a complex? I personally wish for peace, good relations with neighbors countries and prosperity for all

lmao what logic is that !!! india and pak should completely break all relations and recall envoys. India has nothing to gain with it anyway. It's not like our economy is crumbling

Complete ban would be the correct thing.

Why not break the diplomatic ties with India as well ?

It makes little difference. All contents available online for free or through IPTV box.

Going back two steps a day. Bad economy and increasing hostility towards neighbour. This insulation from modernity and openness is the bane of Pak.

@Syed

Very funny

@Ajit how much Sayed you will deal.

@Syed Pakistan doesn't even have 200 cinema halls and you call revenue generating big market. Open your mind first before closing other senses.

To take away the freedom to watch what we please is not democracy your honor. The dam has nothing to do with what people watch

This action will certainly build dams and who knows rivers too. Obviously intellectual growth has clearly stifled in Pakistan. Probably IMF will teach them some lessons. If not, they always have option to become an autonomous region of China, the greater Xinjiang. Pakistanis will make great student(talib an) at the Chinese re-education camps.

Who in Pakistan has the authority on such matters, the CJP or the Government ? Is this a legal issue ? Clearly the CJP has over stepped.

I hope now CJP will be in a position to build the dams in pakistan easily.

I want to give u suggestion ... Plz don't ban the channels because ba ning the channels is not the solution of the problem.... we all are waiting for the channels to be back again .. Please SHC lift the ban and try to solve the problem in peaceful manner . I am sorry if I had said something wrong . Kindly lift the ban

Is ban a solution for speedy development or a declaration of individual's whim ? Indian industry does not depend on Pak audience but Pak cinema owners may loose their bread &butter instead.

right decision at right time...!! should be permanent.

Indian shows are running all over the world. This will not make any difference

Good,nice,universal decision,thank u PSC.

,Sir Does CJP knows about Indus Water Treaty? I doubt.

Ban is an obsolete tool in the present day context. In an age of internet one can always find a way to watch what one wants to watch. There is this unending cyber world where all these contents can be found and watched and the writ of Supreme Court of Pakistan do not run there.

Sad decision for the public in Pakistan.

Mean while Supreme Court in India giving landmark verdicts at par to a progressive Indian society.

@Asif That is funny

@Love Pakistan Then why ban. Let them compete. Let the superior channels win

@Zak "Finally a Judge who shows justice and understanding of Indian agenda" Also protecting Pakistan from the barbaric culture of India.

@Asif -- I an no fan of Indian telecasts, movies or whatever, but I am confused. Who is in charge here? Doesn't this kind of decision falls under the purview of the executive branch? Who elected the Supreme Court to make foreign policy decisions?

@Ajin Vincent I am not sure why Indians are getting insecure about this decision if they think it’s not going to affect them. We have made the decision in our benefit. Our country our rules. Well done Mr CJ Nisar Sb.

I think Pakistan TV is doing a great job , and our culture and beliefs are different from Hinduism , so there is no need to see Indian dramas , Indians should stop killing Muslims just for the sin of eating cow meat, maybe we can then think .No country in the world has imposed a ban on eating cow meat , but in India you will be risking your life if you do so .

thank you CJP. put this in place for good !

we don't want indian content as its leading pakistan media towards obscenity as well.

I hope Pakistanis learn the habit of reading good books with an OPEN CRITICAL mind. This would be a good time to start with distracting movies out of the way?

I would be the first person to ban their content, it is offensive and below our social values.

I fully support the CJ and every one who does not see any Indian film/tv and does not listen to their radio.

@ga Fuming? Not here in these comments, they're just laughing at you!

@Love Pakistan So why not people should be given the choice to switch off the channels that he or she does not like. In any democracy, people should have the right to make choices. If the judge respect the constitution then he should not restrict the rights of the people.

Good decision. Now stick to it.
