Pak warns artistes to get NOC before India travel

Meanwhile, the Pakistan government has announced that actors and artists will have to obtain a No-Objection Certificate before travelling to India. This comes close on the heels of the detention of singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in Delhi on charges of illegal possession of foreign currency.

The Culture Ministry will certify Pakistani actors and artistes before the NOCs are issued to them by the Interior Ministry for travelling to India. A decision to this effect was made at a high-level meeting chaired by Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
