TV/FM publicity ban not enough, Pak needs to go far beyond:MEA

November 04, 2015 18:38

India today said an effective action by Pakistani government against LeT and other terror outfits will have to go far beyond "merely" proscribing their publicity through electronic media, asserting a complete and enforceable ban on them by Pakistan has been long overdue.

The comments by External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup came in reaction to Pakistan's decision to ban publicity of LeT, JuD and FIF through electronic media.

"We have seen the media reports that Pakistan's electronic media regulator has imposed a ban on publicity of LeT, JuD and FIF through electronic media.

"The relevant notification and its implications need to be studied. At first sight, it does appear that it is a ban merely on publicity through electronic media," he said.

Acknowledging for the first time that the 2008 Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed-led JuD is a wing of LeT,Pakistan government has asked broadcasters to refrain from covering such terror groups.
