On Wednesday, Indian troops targeted a passenger bus in Azad Jammu and Kashmir s Lawat area, killing 10 people including three army soldiers and injuring 11 others.
Cultural ties between both the neighbouring countries have been severely affected by the ongoing tensions on the border.
Following the Uri attack, the Indian Motion Picture Producers Association, which represents a number of Hindi film industry employees, passed a motion banning Pakistani artists until relations improve.
Pakistan’s Film Exhibitors and Distributors group responded by suspending the screening of all Indian films "until normalcy returns".
Pakistan’s state-run media authorityalso banned all Indian content from television and radio networks. It threatened to suspend the licences of any station caught flouting the ban.
