ISLAMABAD—Commenting on a dance number on Hum TV during Eid transmission, The News journalist Ansar Abbasi called on the government and regulator PEMRA to take every possible step against such "vulgarity and obscenity."
With his tweet in Urdu, he also tweeted a clip of the dance performance. In the tweet, he said under no circumstances, such vulgarity and obscenity should be allowed on any media.
He called on the government and PEMRA to take every measure to stop this vulgarity and obscenity. He also tagged President Arif Alvi and Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Ali Muhmmad Khan to his tweet
اس بے شرمی اور بے غیرتی کی کسی بھی طور پر میڈیا کو دکھانے کی اجازت نہیں ہونی چاہیے۔ حکومت اور پیمرا کو چاہیے کہ فحاشی و عریانیت کو روکنے کے لیے ہر ممکن اقدامات کرے۔ @ImranKhanPTI @Ali_MuhammadPTI @reportpemra @ArifAlvi https://t.co/sMJM5U5oMw

However, Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry, commenting on Abbasi's tweet, advised him to pick up the remote and change the channel. He then wondered why Abbasi looked for obscenity 24/7 on TV.
انتہائ آساں حل ہے آپ ریموٹ اٹھائیں اور چینل بدل لیں، آپ 24/7 ٹی وی پر انٹرنیٹ پر آخر فحاشی ڈھونڈھتے کیوں ہیں؟
