During the Ramadan in Pakistan it was good to see that all the channels showed Ramadan related to programs, Geo TV, ARY Digital, TV One transmitted special Ramazan shows which was 6-8 hours long. Dr. Aamir Liaquat hosted Pehchan Ramzan on Geo TV. Dr. Shahid Masood and Maya Khan hosted Faizan-e-Ramazan on ARY Digital. Junaid Iqbal hosted a show on TV One.
All these shows were trying to build harmony among all the Muslims. In all the shows aired during Ramadan there was a message that we should avoid sectarian talks and should say that we all are Muslims.
During Ramadan Indian channels were also not coming on cable TV which was also very good as these Indian channels (Star Plus, Sony TV, Colors) have promoted Indian cultures in Pakistan and many children in Pakistan knows about Indian tradition but does not know about our own culture.
