Soon after India's surgical strike across the LoC (Line of Control), India's oldest and largest film producers association, Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA), on Thursday passed a resolution banning Pakistani actors, technicians or performers from working in India.

The resolve of IMPPA's 23-member committee to ban Pakistanis from the industry was announced at their 77th annual general meeting following a "massive uproar among the members triggered by the fact that none of the Pakistani artistes who have worked in our industry and received so much from our country have expressed any hurt or emotion on the Uri attacks", said Ashoke Pandit, vice president IMPPA.
