FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A soap ad featuring Meera, a Pakistani actress, and a hoarding featuring
Katrina Kaif, a Bollywood star, have been covered up.
The finger of suspicion is already pointing at the Jamaat-e-Islami party,
which last month organised an “anti-vulgarity” day.
The Islamist party sent a letter to prayer leaders lamenting the use of women
in “erotic and seminude” advertisements.
However, party officials have denied running a guerrilla campaign against
billboards.
Bina Shah, a writer who lives in the city, said the campaigners could not stop
fashion shows being beamed into homes by satellite and so had picked an easy
target in a city that did not protecting.
“Karachi people are much more liberal in terms of women’s dress code,”
she said.
The blacked-out adverts have now been taken down.
It is not the first time that self-appointed morality police have tried to
raise standards of decency in Karachi.
Earlier this year a TV talk show host prowled a public park with a film crew
to chase down young, courting couples seen in public without chaperones.
However, Maya Khan’s stunt provoked a liberal outcry and she lost her job.
