| 2013-12-24 |
| [Tolo News] Afghans living in Pakistain on Monday reacted against the recent prohibition of Afghan TV channels in Pakistain, which they claimed first began several months ago. "For several months Pak officials have baned some Afghani TV channels," one Afghan living in Pakistain told TOLOnews. Many Afghans live in Pakistain, with over two million refugees and many more economic migrants. "We have the right to be informed about what is happening in our own country by our local media," another Afghan resident of Pakistain said. The frustrated Afghans called on the Pak and Afghan governments to address the issue and come to a resolution. Meanwhile, ...back at the bunker, his Excellency called a hurried meeting of his closest advisors. It was to be his last. They discussed the officers's efficiency rating system... the Cultural Attache of Afghanistan in Islamabad said that no Afghan broadcasters have filed complaints to the Embassy in Pakistain about the problem. Yet he assured that Afghan officials would discuss the matter with their Pak counterparts. "Pakistain has put some restrictions on foreign media, which is difficult for the Afghan media, so we will try to get Pakistain to work with us," Zardasht Shams said. |
