By B. Muralidhar Reddy

ISLAMABAD, SEPT. 25. All-Pakistan Cable Operators' Association has decided to impose a countrywide `ban' on airing five Indian TV news channels ``propagating against Islam and Pakistan'', according to the leading Pakistani Urdu daily, Jang.

The paper quoted Mr. Tahir Ali Khan, general secretary of the association in Karachi, as saying that that if any cable operator violated the decision, he would be considered as ``anti- Pakistan and Indian agent''.

The channels, which have been blacked out are Zee News, Star News, Star Plus, Jain TV and all Doordarshan channels.
