MUMBAI:Local
Indian authorities in Kashmir have banned broadcast of Pakistani
television channels in parts of Kashmir.
The
banned channels include PTV, Geo television, ARY and Aaj.
All these channels are free to air.
Separatist
leaders have described this as cultural aggression.
However
cable operators are still airing QTV which they say, was not
mentioned in the order. QTV has Islamic-oriented programs
on topics like mysticism, ethics and dialogue between different
schools of Islamic thought.
The
popular Pakistani channels are the only source of Islamic programming in Indian-controlled
Kashmir. |
