Following the suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama by the Pakistan based terrorist organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), the All India Cine Workers Association (AICWA) announced a ban on Pakistani actors and artistes working in Indian film industry.

The AICWA on Monday in notification said that it would ban and take strong action against any organisation that insists on or is found working with Pakistani nationals.

"We're officially announcing a total ban on Pakistani Actors and Artists working in Film Industry. Still if any organisation insists on working with Pakistani Artists will be banned by AICWA and a strong action will be taken against them. Nation comes first, we stand with our nation," said the notification.

On Thursday, 40 CRPF jawans were martyred in a terror attack in Pulwama district in Jammu and Kashmir.
