Many Bollywood artist originally belongs to Pakistan like Dev Anand, Rakesh Roshan and many many more

Lol
anything against Modi gets support from our neighbors.

Nah it wasn't related to Modi that for sure, something to do with their internal politics. Anyway we don't want to further derail as @Ifrit is already on my tail.

why you bring this here did you see any body talking about JUD here, may be they support just like you (supports Shiv Sena & RSS)

My point was more towards how people react on twitter rather than on organization/political parties you are mentioning.

Pakistani social media users are trying to put pressure on a leading local media network to cancel a singing competition involving Indian judges.

The Geo TV show stars Bollywood music director Shankar Mahadevan and singer Shweta Pandit.

The hashtag #GeoBetraysYetAgain has gathered traction, with many calling Geo TV "traitors".

The campaign comes after several events in India involving Pakistanis were disrupted by rightwing group Shiv Sena.

Last month, a concert by popular Pakistani ghazal singer Ghulam Ali in the western Indian city of Mumbai was cancelled after the Shiv Sena threatened to disrupt the performance.


Shiv Sena activists also doused the head of an Indian think-tank in black ink in protest at his support for the launch of a book by a former Pakistani foreign minister.

And weeks later, party activists broke into the office of India's cricket board just before a meeting between India and Pakistan's cricket board chiefs.

And now, in what appears to be a tit-for-tat move, some Pakistani social media users want the Geo TV network to cancel its singing competition "Asia Singing Superstar".

A graphic that many users are sharing reads "Pakistanis don't want to see those who are killing Muslims for eating meat and Geo management is showing entertainment programmes with an Indian agenda".

The comments are in reference to the recent lynching of a Muslim man by a Hindu mob over rumours that he consumed beef.

The sentiment has been also picked up by opposition politicians like Sheikh Rashid Ahmad, who has been retweeting some of the anti-Geo TV comments.

Other users asked "Where is Pamera?", a reference to the Pakistani media regulator which has the power to either completely shutdown a channel or impose heavy fine under what some commentators describe as draconian powers.

An article of its recently introduced code of conduct prohibits the airing of any content which is against Islamic values and the ideology of Pakistan.

But not everyone felt the same way, with other social media users defending Geo TV.

Not fair!!!
We Indians love Atif Aslam, Rahat Fateh ali khan, Zafar Ali and so many more- some of them have been judges on Indian shows.

This is really great. Their actors and actresses come here and get a role in bollywood. Their junior singers come here participate in our competation. their comedians come here participate in our show and get prizes. Our singer has absolutely no need to go to Pakistan and sing but these radicasl have simply displayed their mentality. Now they will lacture us on our large heartedness etc etc.

Until issue of Kashmir is resolved their would be no peace. As for this crap Geo needs to back off or face what they face two years ago

There is a young singer from the family of ustads (I don't remember his name) he participated in some Indian singing competition in idea some years ago, performed well but you know what he was thrown out from that competition by these same Indians because they though his country is a terrorist country.

To these Indian judges did you forget 26/11 or it does not apply when it comes to you earning money?

Zarvii bhai
How is that related?
Your ppl living in UAE watch Indian shows and movies. So why should the Pakistanis living in Pakistan be banned from watching anything Indian????

Me too.

If that's true then why did not Bollywood stop RAHAT FATHEH ALI KHAN, ATIF ASLAM, your actors and other actresses from working in Hindi movies????
Afaik latest Shah rukh khan movie has a Pakistani actress.
Does the 26/11 rule not apply on them?

As long as Kashmir issue is their no peace or joint ventures with India. First it would be Kashmir issue than every thing else.

You're talking about the border(where there will be no peace anytime soon),
I was talking about the entertainment industry. There's a lot of difference!

How am I supposed to explain the applicability of 26/11, and who are the special Pakistanis that are exempt from it? Ask your government and your countrymen they seem to have this habit of cherry picking, when it suits them 26/11 is applicable, otherwise we would be playing cricket, hockey and games no? I don't think it will take me lot to understand who are the real bigots here.

And your bollywood is mostly funded and run by Dons and underworld people may be that's why shiv sena could not threaten it much.
