Supreme Court: ‘Narrow minded’: SC junks plea to ban Pakistan artistes

[ad_1]

NEW DELHI: Asking a petitioner not to be “so narrow-minded“, the Supreme Court on Tuesday dismissed his petition seeking a complete ban on all kinds of association or employment of Pakistani artistes in India.
A bench of Justices Sanjiv Khanna and S V N Bhatti refused to interfere with the Bombay HC order which had also rejected the plea for not allowing artistes from Pakistan to perform in the country.”You should not press this appeal. Do not be so narrow-minded,” the bench said.
The petition sought the court’s direction to the central government to impose a complete ban on Indian citizens, companies and firms from employing or soliciting any work or performance, or entering into any association with any Pakistani artiste.
