We need to stop piracy as well as banning Indian content: Wasay Ch
Wasay hoped that relations would get better with India
(Web Desk) – The Pakistani drama actor, writer, director and Dunya anchorperson Wasay Chaudhry pointed out the huge difference between the ban imposed on airing of Indian content in the country by PEMRA and its implementation across the country.
After the Pulwama attack, relations deteriorated between the archrivals, when Indian cable operators despite a contract refused to air Pakistan Super League matches. Similarly the all India cinema association boycotted and warned to take stern actions against those who will cast Pakistani artists leading for a tit for tat ban in Pakistan.
Speaking to Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath, Wasay stated that implementation of the order should be checked and the cable operators airing Indian content despite the ban need to be curbed.
Illegal sale of Indian pirated movies across Pakistan should stop; piracy is a universal crime that should’ve been dealt with a couple of years back.
Wasay was flustered why the Pakistani businessmen continue to use Indian artists in their ads.
‘Law needs to be implemented across the board when under the current scenario there is a ban on cable operators on airing the content, businessmen should adhere to law as well,’ he added.
Wasay hoped that relations would get better with India whether its cricket, politics or arts and culture. Commercialism and business interests play a major role in reducing tensions.Moreover the political scenario in India is pivotal for restoration of ties as Indian elections are going on. May be their strategy would change after elections and if that happens who would say no to peace.
