The Bombay High Court, on October 19, rejected a petition requesting a comprehensive ban on Pakistani artists` performances or work in India, emphasizing that patriotism does not require hostility towards individuals from abroad, especially neighbouring countries, stated a report in PTI.
The court noted that a person with a good heart would welcome any activity that fosters peace, harmony, and tranquillity within their own nation and across the border. A division bench consisting of Justices Sunil Shukre and Firdosh Pooniwalla had previously dismissed the plea filed by Faaiz Anwar Qureshi, a self-claimed cine worker and artist.
