An Indian film body has "strictly" forbidden the country's artistes and singers from working with their Pakistani counterparts, even if the collaboration was digital
In a statement issued Sunday, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) said it had "issued total non-cooperation circular advising all members not to work in any manner whatsoever with all Pakistani artistes, singers and technicians"
The statement, shared by film critic Taran Adarsh, also noted that some of the Indian artists were "blatantly violating" the instructions. It also referred to an instance where "our musicians have worked online with singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan of Pakistan which is being seen online"
"We have been informed that more such Entertainment products and songs are being planned and made," the FWICE stated, warning that violators "will be subject to strict disciplinary action initiated by FWICE"
The film body further engaged in Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led propaganda against Pakistan and chose to omit any mention of both the Indian army's persistent ceasefire violations at the Line of Control (LoC), as well as the inhumane curfew imposed in Kashmir and the human rights violations through its military's aggression
