Omer Pasha Faces Opposition Against His Video The Curse In Pakistan

Added : ( Fri May 14 2004 )

Islamabad-Pak: May 14,04: Omer Pasha faces opposition from Pakistan Television Networks that his video cannot be aired due to controversial symbols of black magic and explicit content of Hindu Culture.

Although other channels have accepted "The Curse" and since they air from abroad , outside Pakistan , thus no censor policy applies. Whereas channels airing within Pakistan have very strong censor policies and thus is more manipulated by the Pakistani Government.

Omer Pasha's version of The Curse, Unveiled, has literally been condemned by Pakistan Televsion Networks because the authorities from the censor board have said that although , this is one of the best videos ever made in the history of Pakistan,theycannot really air it because the witch in the video has engraved , with make up, the sign of some hindu culture that represents black magic on her forhead, and thus for an innocent Pakistani audience this type of matter is very scary and unpleasant.

On the contrary Omer Pasha explains that this is just a video and not actually true, people should take it as thrilling entertainment and something new, not another Backstreet Boy single.

Pasha later on added that actually this video is more about Surrey , a city in Canada, in Vancouver, British Columbia, where he stayed 3 years ago. And he wishes more to have it aired on Canadian channels who are very broad minded and give confidence and way to the freedom of artistic expression. He also said that he would want to promote The Curse the video in the Uk , since the video is shot on the location of old British ruins , before the sub-continent was partitioned . Those British ruins in the video are actually a momento when there was British rule in those areas in that time.

Although Pasha is currently completing college, with the British System, he plans to leave for Canada and make and promote his upcoming album and more video(s).
