The PEMRA press release said that under Section 27 of the PEMRA Ordinance, the broadcasting of both dramas has been banned repeatedly for broadcasting material contrary to social and religious values. Other channels will not be able to broadcast on ARY Zindagi and Hum Star.

PEMRA had directed all TV channels, media houses and production houses to review the content of dramas and assured that if the content of a drama was against the values of the country and contrary to the expectations of the viewers, it would be banned without any warning.

Public reaction to PEMRA bans on these dramas for airing indecent contents which are against our society norms was really appreciated and welcomed. Check public comments to these DailyInfoTainment’s Instagram post.
