Ertugrul Ghazi’s growing popularity in Pakistan has widened the gap between Pakistan and its Arab allies. Senior journalist and anchorperson Dr. Moeed Pirzada has revealed during his program that the Arab allies are dissatisfied with the growing popularity of Ertugrul Ghazi drama in Pakistan, and they have also put pressure on Pakistan in this regard.
ارطغرل ڈرامے کے پاکستان میں نشر ہونے سے بہت سےعرب دوست ناراض ہیں
ایک برادر مسلم ملک ارطغرل ڈارمے سے اتنا خوفزدہ ہےکہ ارطغرل کا مرکزی کردار ادا کرنے والے اداکار کو پاکستان کا دورہ کرنے سے روکنے کے لیے دباؤ ڈالا ہے

He said that the business companies which wanted to invite Turkish actor Engin Altan to Pakistan were being pressured not to do any activity in which Turkish actor could be brought to Pakistan. Irshad Arif said that a powerful Arab ally of Pakistan had expressed its displeasure over why Turkish drama serial is being aired in Pakistan and also expressed concerns over its popularity.
Dr. Moeed Pirzada claimed that diplomatic pressure was being exerted on Pakistan to stop the Turkish actor from visiting Pakistan. In this regard, the issue was also highlighted on an official Twitter handle in Urdu from Turkey that many Arab friends are angry with the airing of Ertugrul drama in Pakistan. A brotherly Muslim country, Ertugrul, is so terrified of the drama that it has pressured the actor playing the lead role of Ertugrul to stop him from visiting Pakistan.
