Momina Duraid, producer of TV serial Udaari said that PEMRA was misled into issuing a show-cause notice for the drama.
On Friday, PEMRA served a notice to HUM TV seeking an explanation for showing “immoral” scenes in the popular serial that highlights the issue of child abuse.
“We feel it’s very unreasonable, Momina said, “We have very responsibly carved and executed this concept with prime focus on educating our public and children for a cause. We expect our regulatory bodies to encourage us and it’s very unfortunate that instead of supporting us they have taken a route that can only harm our society,” she added.
The acclaimed producer believes that her team will clear the issue in its response to PEMRA.
“We feel that PEMRA might have been misled by a group of people who would never want our society to raise and flourish. We will explain our view point and present it with evidence. We are attaching articles and feedback supporting Udaari with the our reply,” Momina said.
She also said that she’s hopeful that once PEMRA understands the positive impact the drama has had on socitey, the media regulatory authority too will support it.
Earlier, lead actor Ahsan Khan also responded to the notice saying, “Udaari has shown the issue in a lighter way. How can we say no to highlighting it, especially when it has constantly being overlooked?”
