ISLAMABAD - According to a Gilani Research Foundation survey carried out by Gallup & Gilani Pakistan, 67% Pakistanis claim to have felt that a certain program/TV drama was inappropriate for family viewership.

A media release said that nationally representative sample of men and women from across the four provinces was asked, “Please tell me how often it has happened that you felt a certain program/ TV drama was inappropriate to watch with family.”
