ISLAMABAD – The primary association of Pakistan’s film exhibitors has boycotted Indian content, banning the release of all upcoming movies in Pakistan.
Minister for Information, Fawad Chaudhry confirmed the development in a tweet on Tuesday and added that Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has also been instructed to act against made in India advertisements.

The decision came hours after Indian air force violated the Line of Control in the wee hours of Tuesday before being whisked away by Pakistan Air Force.
Indian Air Force also claimed to have targeted the alleged Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist camp though Pakistan denies any such attack.

The alleged strikes – which are still to be verified – have escalated tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbours as Pakistan’s armed forces have announced that Pakistan will respond against Indian aggression in a befitting and surprising manner.
Earlier today, Prime Minister Imran Khan convened a meeting of the National Security Committee in the aftermath of surgical strike reports and made it clear that Pakistan will respond to Indian aggression at time and place of its choosing.
The NSC meeting, chaired by the premier in the wake of India’s violation of the Line of Control (LoC), was attended by the top civil and military leadership, including Army Chief General Qamar Jawed Bajwa and ministers of defence and foreign affairs.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has also convened a meeting of National Command Authority (NCA) which deals with nuclear arsenals and their use.
The tension stemmed out from the Pulwama attack in India-occupied Kashmir in which over 40 Indian soldiers were left dead. India pinned blame on Pakistan for the attack without any evidence in this regard.
Pakistan’s armed forces have reiterated that India would be served a befitting response in case of any misadventure and the region apparently seems to be teetering on the edge of war.
