Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 4th May, 2019) The Punjab Assembly has unanimously passed a resolution banning celebrities to host Ramzan transmission.
A resolution seeking a ban on celebrities hosting Ramzan transmissions was submitted in the Punjab Assembly last week by Pakistan Rah-e-Haq party's parliamentary leader Maulana Muhammad Muavia Azam.
With the resolution, the Punjab Assembly has requested the Federal government to ensure that tv channels display utmost respect for Ramzan in their transmissions.
The resolution stated that Ramzan transmissions are hosted by people who have no knowledge of islam, adding that this upsets Muslims every year.
It demanded that only religious scholars should be invited to the programmes who have spent their entire life in teaching and learning the religion instead of people associated with the showbiz.
The resolution also called upon Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to enforce the said ban.
