What! Ministry is not going to revoke visas of Pakistani actors?

Yes, and that is the official stand of Ministry of India, if the words of a senior official are to be believed.

Post Uri attacks, the fire of ban on Pakistani artistes had been fuelled, and everyone, right from the common man to the celebrities, had something or the else to say on it. While opinions were divided, most were in favour of ban of Pakistani artistes till things are back to normal. IMPAA (Indian Motion Pictures Producers Association) has already put a ban on Pak actors and actresses. However, there is no plan to revoke the visas that have been granted to Pak artistes.

A senior home ministry official spoke to the agency regarding the same. “There is no proposal to revoke the visa granted to Pakistani artistes working in India,” he said.

Well, let’s just wait for more development on the same. But this surely will be a setback to many who have been supporting the ban whole-heartedly. If the Government does not support the ban, it will be quite a different story.
