The Pakistan Broadcasters Association (PBA) has enforced a ban on the broadcast of Indian songs across all FM radio stations in Pakistan, citing India’s unfounded accusations and increasing hostility towards Pakistan’s entertainment sector. The move comes in response to New Delhi’s claims linking Pakistan to the April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which resulted in 26 deaths—a charge Islamabad has strongly denied. As tensions escalate, Pakistan has declared its armed forces are fully prepared to respond to any aggression, while reports suggest Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has given his military operational freedom.
