No Indian movie to be screened in Pakistani cinemas: Firdous Ashiq Awan

Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan said no Indian movie would be screened in Pakistani cinemas, as Pakistan takes steps to downgrade diplomatic and cultural ties with India following the Indian government's move to strip occupied Kashmir of its special autonomy. 

Talking to media outside Parliament House on Thursday, Awan said a policy was being formulated to ban all kinds of Indian cultural content in Pakistan.

She said Pakistan would utilise all options to extend its support to the Kashmiris in the wake of revocation of Article 370 by India.

Efforts were being made to highlight the plight of the residents of occupied Kashmir, including consultations at the United Nations by Pakistan's envoy Dr Maleeha Lodhi, and contact with heads of governments, she said.

The special assistant noted that Pakistan had presented a united stance through a unanimous parliamentary resolution condemning India's actions in occupied Kashmir.

Pakistan would show no leniency on the issue, she added. 

Awan further demanded that the international media and other neutral platforms be provided access to observe the deteriorating situation in occupied Kashmir. She also urged the Pakistani media to play its due role in highlighting the Kashmiris' plight.
