“When I saw a young boy imitating ‘Nobita Nobi’ [the protagonist of Doraemon] I clapped for him,” Chaturvedi said.
Members of the Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party submitted a resolution to Pakistan’s Punjab Assembly on Wednesday, proposing a ban on dubbing the Japanese anime Doraemon into Hindi.
PTI member Malik Taimoor Masood explained that the party believes cable networks are having a “negative impact” on Pakistani children by airing Doraemon.
Doraemon, Nobita, and other children deal with everyday childhood issues, solve (and cause) problems with the gadgets in Doraemon’s fourth-dimensional pocket, and embark on escapades through time and space.
