KARACHI: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan has taken to the Twitter to inform that the government would approach the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) for its views over the controversial movie Zindagi Tamasha.
While Central Board of Film Censors notified the filmmakers not to release the film, Sindh Board of Film Censors stated: “If the film is released for public exhibition, it may create unrest within the religious segment of the society and may deteriorate and be detrimental to the peaceful circumstances in the country.”
Following the announcement Tehreek-i-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP) has called off demonstrations that were scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday 22nd of January, 2020).
