Pakistan's Supreme Court has reintroduced a ban on Indian films and television shows being broadcast on the country's local channels.

The Supreme Court was hearing a case filed by the United Producers Association pertaining to the broadcast of foreign content on Pakistani television channels, reported Dawn.

During the hearing, Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar ordered a "shut down" & made it clear that authorities should "only air appropriate content".

"They are trying to (obstruct the construction) of our dam & we cannot even ban their channels?" Nisar said.

In 2016, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) had imposed a ban on airing Indian content on local television & FM radio channels.

However, the Lahore High Court had lifted ban in 2017, declaring it null & void as the Pakistan govt. had no objections regarding the same.
