Lahore: The Lahore High Court has been asked to put a complete ban on trade, exhibition and selling of Indian films in Pakistan to reciprocate a ban on Pakistani artists working in Bollywood in the wake of the Pulwama attack. Sheikh Muhammad Latif filed a petition pleading through his counsel that the Import Policy Order 2016 announced by federal government had banned import of all Indian films and other content, Dawn news reported.

Latif stated, then PM Nawaz Sharif through a notification of the Ministry of Information on Jan 31, 2017, said that display of all international movies including Indian films in Pakistan would continue under the garb of revival of Pakistani film and cinema industry.
