SHARES Punjab has a history of banning songs that promote drugs, liquor, and or violence. This time, in an attempt to stop the publicity of such offensive and vulgar content, the Lahore Arts Council has banned 30 songs. Artists at the theatre can now only perform to the approved songs. Moreover, they are also directed to keep ethical values in mind. Last year, PEMRA banned the ‘Gala Biscuit’ ad for its indecent content. The ad included bold dance moves and was stopped from airing by PEMRA.
All stakeholders are further advised to stop the rampant use of themes/content which does not correspond with the nature of the products.
