Islamabad: The Government of Pakistan has charged a fine of Rs one million on 36 channels. These channels have been fine for showing vulgar programs and commercials of foreign country. In National Assembly government presented a list of these channels. The list was presented in the answer of the question of Jamat-e-Islami MNA Sher Akbar Khan. He wants to know that channels are following the rules according to PEMRA (Pakistan Electronic Media Regularity Authority).
In his reply, Minister for information broadcasting and national Heritage Pervaiz Rashid said that we broadcast all programs according to the rules of PEMRA. Our Pakistani media should broadcast those programs which are according to the rules of PEMRA. But our Pakistani channels are showing too much vulgarity in their channels. Vulgarity is spreading rapidly through these channels.
Pakistani channels are not supposed to show these types of shameless programs. They show vulgar dramas, songs and shows on their channels. It does not seem that we are watching Pakistani channels, due to vulgarity. These channels should think about it that they are showing their programs in all over the world. Everybody knows that we belong to Islamic country, but unfortunately our channels are trying to copy the foreign channels. They are showing their tradition instead of Pakistani tradition.
Here is the List of channels, which faced fine.
