Read story: PEMRA has directed TV channels to not air ‘indecent’ dramas after too many complaints
The move has been criticized in various circles, while there are also people who are appreciating it. PEMRA said that the orders were given after the media watchdog received numerous complaints regarding 'indecent' content, 'bed scenes', 'intimate scenes' and 'violence' among other reasons.
Shaniera Akram, however, believes that it is not the 'indecent' content that is damaging the culture but too much time spent watching TV.

What she means is that people spend way too much time watching TV everyday that they are unable to spend more time doing productive things.
But this is possibly the best counter-argument. And it's so true
