The respected Editor needs not to behave like an ostrich by burying its head in the ground. If you, sir, perceive this drama as not contrary to the views of Islam, I wonder Islam does mean for you. I wish the scenarios and contexts depicted in these Turkish dramas occur in your house. Would love to see your response them. Besides, if you do not like the principles and practice of Islam, nobody is forcing you to be a Muslim. Join a religion that allows such occurrences as a norm and calls it bold and imaginative, breaking boundaries and taboos. I bet you’ll find one such religion in your own backyard. Just dont invent new themes in a respected, civilzed and revered religion as Islam. Turkey is not Islam and Islam is not Turkey.

Turkish soap are an instant hit in Pakistan. There are quite valid and strong reasons for this success. Actually Pakistani viewers are fed up with the monotony of Pakistani drama. Almost every channel telecasting dramas having the same plot, naration and quality,which is not so good. And the most disturbing fact is that the quality of language and dialogues of these dramas is deteriorating day by day.
All such viewers who have seen PTV dramas by such legends as Nusrat Thakur, M.Nisar Hussain( MNH), Kanwar Aftab Ahmed, TV plays written by Ashfaq Ahmed, Bano Qudsia, Haseena Moeen, Fatima Surayya, there is a long list of such pioneers, still mention with great appreciation. We still miss that period. Where as Turkish soap is much superior than Indian plays and are a good replacement. Actually Indian plays are clearly out of place in Pakistan, because they are of very low quality in script, direction, and pictutrization. And Turkish soap is certainly far ahead of not only Indian plays but also ahead of Indian movies. I would suggest that PEMRA should allow telecasting of Irani plays and movies( these are of high quality in any respect), and Bangla Deshi music,and dramas also. Pakistani public deserve some good and claen entertainment.
