What Happened
Pakistan's PEMRA issued a show-cause notice to broadcaster Geo News for airing a tribute to Indian singer Asha Bhosle, citing violation of the 2018 Supreme Court ban on Indian content. Geo News managing director Azhar Abbas stated art should transcend borders during conflict. The regulator summoned Geo's CEO for April 27 and demanded written explanation within 14 days. Asha Bhosle died Sunday at age 92.
