SC takes notice of ‘vulgar’ song aired on private TV channel: HumSub.TV: Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar has taken notice of the airing of a ‘vulgar song’ on a private music channel after a journalist wrote an article appealing the court to take action.
On April 6, journalist Ansar Abbasi wrote an article for an Urdu daily complaining about the airing of an Indian song on music channel Jalwa TV which ‘crossed all limits of decency’ and violated Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA)’s code of conduct.
The journalist called upon the regulatory body and the chief justice to take action and revoke the channel’s licence.
Upon reading the column, the chief justice issued a notice directing the media regulatory body’s chairman to investigate the matter and take action against the channel under the relevant laws.
The PEMRA had already served a show-cause notice to Jalwa TV on April 5 asking the channel to explain its content selection policy. The channel has been given till April 12 to respond and explain why it should not be fined Rs1 million for violating various clauses of Pemra’s code of conduct.
The song in question titled Jahan Tum Ho, which has over 19 million views on YouTube and was released in December 2016, aired on the channel on March 30 and features a woman wearing a bikini which is unacceptable for viewers, states the Pemra press release. It adds that the body soon began receiving several complaints from the public as the video is “against social and cultural values of the society.”
