LAHORE: The Lahore High Court has rejected a petition seeking a ban on a new drama serial “Ehd-e-Wafa”

Justice Shahid Waheed heard the case, holding that petition against drama was not maintainable. The Judge directed the petitioner to approach Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) for his grievances.

A local citizen filed the petition against drama serial, “Ehd-e-Wafa”, arguing that it contained such a content which was against the national interest.

He stated that it would damage the image of the politicians, media and would spread a negative image of the country across the globe. He asked the court to ban drama serial “Ehd-i-Wafa”.

Ahmed Ali Akbar, Wahaj Ali, Ahad Raza Mir, Osman Khalid Butt, Alizeh Shah, and Zara Noor Abbas have played in the drama serial. Ehd-e-Wafa is a Pakistani drama that revolves around the lives of four school friends with different hopes, goals, and aspirations.
