Gharida Farooqi And Arshad Sharif Grill PEMRA on Banning Gala Biscuit Ad

Don’t turn progressive Pakistan into a regressive talibanised system. There’s nothing in Gala biscuit ad against so-called social norms. Let women sing & dance for whatever! My only issue with the ad is quality of dance production & editing; it should’ve been better pic.twitter.com/sQ1w0l2PMF

پیمرا نے عذر تراشا ہیکہ ٹویٹر وٹس ایپ سوشل میڈیا پر پیمرا کو بُرا بھلا کہا جا رہا تھا گالا بسکٹ اشتہار پر۔ پیمرا قانون کے تحت کام کرتا ہے یا شدت پسندانہ رویوں کے تحت خوفزدہ ہو کر؟؟ میرے جیسی کئی خواتین کو ناچ گانا پسند ہے ہم جمہوری مہذب سوچ رکھتے ہیں کیا پیمرا ہماری آواز سنے گا؟

Even if Mujra, what’s wrong in that? Socio-economic-political history of subcontinent is incomplete without this subject. It’s a rich cultural tradition which in term was later demonised by regressive mindset. Only someone ignorant of subcontinent history would condemn it. https://t.co/YBIybLv9nN

#PEMRA infected by Mujra mindset.
I thought rational normal people are still working in @pemra or have they taken leave of senses and want society to be hostage to militant mindset? https://t.co/QtoXPtacVF
