Dil Na Umeed Toh Nahi actor Omair Rana has responded to the notice issued by the Pakistan Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to the makers of the drama over reviewing its content to the regulatory body’s code of conduct.
In a series of tweets, Omair Rana, while appreciating the Federal Investigation Agency’s (FIA) efforts to combat human trafficking in Pakistan wrote, “Our humble effort is to help them with their honourable cause by educating the masses of our everyday actions that feed the menace that is the modern slave trade.”
Rana, in his tweet, also invited PEMRA to do what is right, not popular. “Join us in this jihad and help us make our beloved Pakistan, pak (clean) of such vile elements in our society,” he added.
…Is it ugly? Of course, all evil is. wrapped in something tempting, that is our fight. I invite @reportpemra to do what is right, not popular, join us in this jihad and help us make our beloved Pakistan, Pak of such vile elements in our society. #DilNaUmeedTohNahi #DNUTN
