IMPPA ban on Pakistani actors has no relevance, says Pahlaj Nihalani

"We can't tolerate that artistes from Pakistan, which harbours terrorists, come here and return home after making money without condemning the terrorists sponsored by their country", said BJP national general secretary Kailash Vijaywargiya who represents Mhow Assembly constituency. Many took to and slammed the actor for speaking in favour of Pakistani artistes.

Ban on Pakistan actors was first supported by 'Zee Zindagi' channel that used to telecast the Pakistani shows exclusively but after Uri attack stopped telecasting Pakistani shows.

Yesterday, Salman Khan opened up about the issue and said that art and terrorism shouldn't be mixed and Pakistani artists aren't terrorists.

In a bid to teach lesson to neighboring country and destroy the terror launch pads, India conducted a surgical strike in PoK on Wednesday night.

Ever since the Uri attack jolted India, tension between Pakistan and India is on the rise and zealot groups in India are urging the ban on Pakistani artists. I don't know anyone apart from my country and nor would I like to know anyone. Are artistes terrorists? They come to India with visa.

Separately, political party Maharashtra Navnirman Sena has called for all Pakistani artistes to leave India and that their films be banned. "Actors are like bed bugs in front of the country, we don't have any worth". Salman's comment on this blew into a huge controversy when MNS President Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut condemned it. He said, " I am talking about those people only.

And while Shah Rukh Khan, Saif and now Salman are echoing for civility when it comes to the artist community, it may already be too late.

"I think Salman should go to Pakistan and get a work permit there", he added.

The Indian Motion Pictures Producers' Association (IMPPA) said its ban would apply to new projects but that it would not stall films that feature Pakistani artistes and are ready for release.
