[Tolo News] Pakistain has blocked Afghan TV channels, a move that has outraged Afghan refugees in the country. Not Islamic enough?
It has been three months that Pakistain government has banned Afghan TV channels, said an Afghan refugee. Officials in Afghanistan's embassy said Pakistain's culture minister had promised his Afghan counterpart to address the problem as soon as possible.
Afghan refugees in Pakistain called on the Afghan government to convince Pakistain stop blocking Afghan channels. "I suggest our information and culture minister to end this problem," said an Afghan refugee in Pakistain.
A Pak TV channels monitor said on condition of anonymity that foreign TV channels should pay for their programmes to be aired in Pakistain. "We have not only discussed this with Pakistain's head of broadcast, but with other brass hats including the counties culture minister," said Afghanistan's acting ambassador in Islamabad, Gulab Majnun Zazai.
Pakistain government has taken such an action, while Pakistain's channels are freely broadcast in Afghanistan without any problem.
But that's different.
