KARACHI - The Pakistani artists, writers and film makers are united to stop the one-sided permission of screening the Indian contents into Pakistan. We demanded of the government to ensure the marketing of the Pakistani films and dramas in India as well.
These views were expressed by renowned artists of the country at a function held under the banner of ‘Our Country Our People’ at Arts Council on Saturday.
A large number of people from all segments of the society representing culture industry including film, drama, TV producers and TV show hosts, actors, writers, technicians, models, musicians, fashion industry experts, film, media and stage actors attended the gathering.
TV artist Atiqa Odho organised the gathering, while famous TV artists Anwar Maqsood, Nida Yasir, Behroze Sabzwari, Dr Anwar Sajjad, Mani and Khalid Anam were among notables there.
On the occasion a huge banner containing pictures of prominent personalities of the culture industry; of past and present remained an attraction for audience. Besides, separate portraits of the culture icons including Noor Jehan, Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Reshman, Nustrat Fateh Ali Khan, Abida Parveen, Javed Shaikh, Nadeem, Bushra Ansari, Atiqa Odho and others had been displayed.
Speaking to the audience Atiqa Odho said that the objective of the event was to unite the people of industry and demonstrate jointly against ‘onslaught’ of media contents from India. Although Pakistani TV dramas are excellent in quality, but the import from India is playing havoc to our local industry.

A month without food for Ramadan in Bradford


Muslims across West Yorkshire and the world are marking the most important month in the Islamic calendar - Ramadan.
But one non-Muslim from Bradford is taking part in the holy month in a bid to gain a better understanding of how her fellow Muslims friends are feeling.
Eilish Bromley works with the youth service in Bradford. She's not Muslim but will begin fasting this year.
She explains her reasons behind it.
She says: "I've got a lot friends who are Asian and they're fasting so I want to respect their religion and fast.
During this month, Muslims refrain from drinking, eating and other activities from dawn until sunset.
Fasting is intended to teach Muslims the virtues of patience, humility and spirituality, and is carried out as an offering to God.
Participants rise in the darkness to eat a pre-dawn meal called "suhur".
They must stop eating and drinking before the dawn call to prayer, and must not break their fast until the fourth call to prayer at dusk.
Muslims are expected to start observing the fasting ritual once they reach puberty, as long as they are healthy.
Eilish says: "I'm also trying to have a small understanding of what's going on around the world, people who are suffering in poverty, and I hope this will also help me gain more understanding about myself."
She says she will have to rise early around 3am, before dawn, to have her breakfast.
Eilish has fasted in the past and it's something she says she was glad she did and will be glad to do it again.

I'm also trying to have a small understanding of what's going on around the world. people who are suffering in poverty. I want to understand that.
Elish Bromley, Bradford
She explains: "I will try and eat the same amount I eat normally. I didn't notice any weight loss the last time I did it. I don't think you necessarily lose any weight.
"It's about trying to gain a better understanding of people and what they are going through, which is why I want to do it."
Fasting this year will be particularly difficult for British Muslims, for whom daylight fasting means going 17 hours without food.
The elderly, the chronically ill and the mentally ill are exempt from fasting, although the first two groups are expected to try to feed the poor instead.
The holiday of Eid ul-Fitr marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and the first day of the following month, which is called called Shawwal.
When fasting is over, celebrations are held and Muslims go to their mosques in their best clothes to say the first Eid prayer.
