A resolution submitted in Punjab Assembly regarding banning Pakistani celebrities hosting Ramadan transmission was accepted by the Assembly yesterday.
It states, “Having people associated with showbiz host Ramazan transmissions is an unfortunate practice. Ramazan transmissions are hosted by people who have no affiliation with the ranks of the Islamic faith. This practice afflicts the spirits of millions of Muslims every year.”
The purpose of the resolution is to persuade Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to ban stars and popular entertainment luminaries to feature in Ramadan transmission.
Many celebrities have hosted Ramadan transmissions in recent years, including Fahad Mustafa, Hamza Ali Abbasi, Ayesha Khan, Juggan Kazim, Sanam Baloch, Imran Abbas, and many others.
