Newsdeck: Pakistan bans Bollywood films amid India tensions By News24
On Wednesday, Pakistan confirmed it carried out air raids in Indian-administered Kashmir and shot down two Indian jets in its own airspace, capturing one of the pilots as tensions escalate a day after India bombed targets in Pakistan .
India’s foreign secretary said the “non-military pre-emptive action” targeted a training camp for armed group Jaish-e-Mohammad , which claimed a suicide attack earlier this month that killed 42 Indian security forces personnel and brought tensions between the nuclear-armed neighbours to a boil. “We believe art and film is a universal language that transcends borders and brings people closer. We hope we can all play a positive role in reducing tensions, and supporting policies that bring peace and prosperity to the people of the entire region,” he added. ‘Nation comes first’Pakistan has denied any involvement and warned India against linking it to the attack.
