    ‘Get Off’: Ushna Shah says stop watching TV, using fahash social media

    Actor Ushna Shah has said that people should stop watching television and use social media if they feel celebrities are responsible for spreading vulgarity.

    The celebrity said that people with ethics and morals who think of celebrities as being inferior and responsible for spreading vulgarity should stop watching television and stop using social media.

    Taking to Twitter, Shah wrote, “Show your gherat (honour) please.”

    Earlier, the Balaa star had advised parents to raise their children by themselves instead of relying on celebrities to do so.

    The celebrity posted a bit of rather angry, but important advice for parents whose children are old enough consume online entertainment content.

    She clarified that the private life of celebrities is none of other people’s business.

    Shah went on to say that if it is good enough for the children in the families to see the content, but not good enough for the parents, then don’t allow them to use Instagram or ban them from showbiz stars’ social media pages.

    PM Khan assures ulema that no law against Islamic guidelines will be made in his rule

    Prime Minister Imran Khan during his meeting with Islamic scholars in Karachi said the controversial government bills — including one apparently addressing the issue of domestic violence and another drafted to check forced conversions — will not be enacted as they have provisions that are ‘in direct conflict with the teachings of Islam’, Ansar Abbasi reports for The News.

    Prime Minister assured the religious scholars that no such law would be enacted during his rule. The premier requested the ulema to keep him informed about any such activities so that he could intervene in time and ensure that no policy or law which conflicts with Islam is made.

    “Some non-governmental organisations are working hard to get such laws and policies legislated that promote westernisation and seriously hurt our family system and socio-religious values,” said PM Khan.

    The premier pointed out that the spread of indecency and obscenity through social media seriously threatens our family system, which must be protected.

    PM Khan also talked about the Turkish drama ‘Diriliş: Ertuğrul’
    and said that he made PTV air it. He said that it became instantly popular and broke all records.

    The premier said earlier he was being told that producing indecent and vulgar dramas and films was the only choice to make them sell and earn money. He, however, said that the Turkish drama, which shows Islamic history and has no indecent and vulgar parts, has negated this excuse of depending on vulgarity for successful productions.

    Domestic Violence Bill, is a bill that will establish an effective system of protection, relief, and rehabilitation of women, children, elders, and any vulnerable person against domestic violence.

    Forced Religious Bill, is a bill where no person shall convert or attempt to convert or abet the conversation of, either directly or otherwise, any person from one religion to another by use of force, allurement, or any fraudulent means.

    PM Khan calls out Bollywood for spreading vulgarity

    Prime Minister Imran Khan has called out Bollywood for spreading vulgarity and adopting the ‘worst of Hollywood’.

    In a recent media meet, PM Khan discussed why he requested PTV to air the superhit Turkish series Diriliş: Ertuğrul with Urdu dubbing.

    “The show has depicted the culture of Islam,” said PM Imran. “I want our youth to know that we also have a culture which has romance and other interesting elements.”

    The premier then called out Bollywood for promoting vulgarity.

    “I say this with a heavy heart but thirty to forty years ago, you would have never seen such vulgarity in Bollywood. There is so much trash. Bollywood has adopted the worst of Hollywood.”

    “This is affecting our society and youth negatively. Drug culture is emerging, sex crimes are increasing because of such promotion of vulgarity. This is the reason I wanted the series to be aired so that the youth understand that there are other cultures as well.”

    “It is important to note that when vulgarity increases in a society, the family system goes down”, remarked the prime minister.

    Turkish historical fiction series Diriliş: Ertuğrul, popularly referred to as the Turkish Game of Thrones, has begun to air on PTV Home with Urdu dubbing for the local audiences. PTV obtained the exclusive rights for dubbing and screening it in Pakistan.

    Set in 13th century Anatolia, before the establishment of the Ottoman Empire Diriliş: Ertuğrul illustrates the struggle of Ertugrul Gazi, the father of Osman I – the founder of the Ottoman dynasty.

    Since its premiere on state-run Turkish TV channel TRT 1 in November 2014, the serial has been telecasted in 60 countries and has a huge fan following across the world.
