Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan Thursday said no Indian film will be allowed to be exhibited onwards in Pakistan.
She said that there will be complete ban on telecast and exhibition of Indian content. She said that Pakistan will take steps to boost the morale of the valiant Kashmiris, who are struggling for their just right to self-determination.
Talking to reporters here outside the Parliament House, Dr Firdous urged the United Nations (UN) to play the same proactive role on Kashmir issue which it had played on the East Timor and South Sudan conflicts. She said the entire Pakistani leadership has given a strong message to the world, particularly India, that the nation is united on the Kashmir issue. “Since Kashmir is Pakistan’s jugular vein so we will not show any flexibility, take all the required steps and go to any extent for the rights of Kashmiris,” she added.
Dr Firdous said India has become a hardline Hindu state and those (Indian and Kashmiri) Muslims who had opposed the two-nation theory at the time of partition, are now repenting their decision. She said with scrapping of the special status of Indian-held Kashmir, the real face of Hindu extremist state has been exposed. She said the occupied valley is facing a complete clamp down.

She said Pakistan will use all options on the Kashmir issue. The joint session of parliament was convened with an aim to raise unanimous voice for the people of Kashmir, she said, adding that the National Security Committee has also decided to take a number of steps. The government, she said, has banned screening of Indian films in the country and a clear policy will be devised in this regard. A ban will be imposed on airing of Indian content in any form on the Pakistani media, she added.
The special assistant said the Indian forces have made the entire population of Jammu and Kashmir hostage and the media should highlight their sufferings. She said it is a war of ideologies. “Our relations with Kashmiris are based on Kalma-e-Tayyaba. India wants to erase the identity of Kashmiris. The United Nations and international human rights organisations should stop India from its nefarious designs,” Dr Firdous said, adding that due to curfew, the people of held Kashmir are facing shortage of foods and medicines, while their entire leadership is under arrest.
The special assistant said the government has decided to express solidarity with the Kashmiris on Pakistan’s Independence Day, while India’s independence day on August 15 will be observed as a black day. She said India has made a blunder by scrapping the special status of Held Kashmir as it will unite all the Kashmiris.
She said Pakistan’s Ambassador to the United Nations Dr Maleeha Lodhi is holding consultations with the UN officials on the Kashmir issue. She said under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan, the whole nation is united to counter Indian moves on the Kashmir issue. Replying a question, she said all options will be used on diplomatic front.
