Minister of Science and technology Fawad Chaudhry says airing foreign content on Pakistani TV channels will affect the local drama production in our country.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, Fawad Choudhry requested the state-run TV to focus on local productions as foreign dramas can ruin Pakistani productions.
"It's always cheap to import foreign drams but this will have devastating long term effect on our own programming," he tweeted.
"Ertugrul is an excellent drama but my tweet is not about Ertugrul. My position has always been that we should air foreign dramas but only after imposing the amount of tax so that our local drama is not affected. If all the TV channels start purchasing cheap dramas from abroad, our industry would collapse," he tweeted in Urdu.
At the point when a user drew his attention towards his previous tweet where he had praised famous Turkish TV series "Dirilis: Ertugrul", which PTV is airing in Urdu, Fawad Chaudhry clarified that he didn't plan to criticise Ertugrul.
"Ertugrul is an excellent drama but my tweet is not about Ertugrul. My position has always been that we should air foreign dramas but only after imposing the amount of tax so that our local drama is not affected. If all the TV channels start purchasing cheap dramas from abroad, our industry would collapse," he tweeted in Urdu.
