On night Ist January 2016, I
had a chance to hear a Talk show on one of the channels regarding “Presence of
Daaish in Pakistan.” It was really shocking as everyone was bent upon proving
that Daish had spread its tentacles in Pakistan but the Federal Government was
intentionally closing her eyes. The participants had also disclosed that
Professor Hafiz Saeed (Lashkar-i-Taiba) was the Amir for the Set up in Pakistan.
I wish the short – sighted Anchor Person and the so called enlightened
participants could appreciate the implications and ill effects of their
utterances as far as Pakistan and Muslim Ummah are concerned. Many pseudo
intellectuals overwhelmed by their desire to push Pakistan into hot waters will
do their utmost to prove that Pakistan is the sanctuary of this emerging menace.
This is not the first time that Pakistani Media has been misled and has played
to the tune of foreign media backed by the Think Tanks who have their definite
designs.
The whole world was be-fooled on the issue of destruction of the Twin Towers by
Al-Queda. The planning, preparation and execution of the whole operation was
done with extreme care, utmost secrecy and away from US. Out of thousands of
Jews working in the Twin Towers, none was killed / wounded - they all kept
themselves away from Twin Towers on 9/11! What a superb planning!! But Al-Queda
and Talbaan of Afghanisan had to pay a very heavy price for the crime never
committed by any of them. Instead of analyzing the happenings and digging the
facts about the ulterior motives of the planners of the tragic event, the
Pakistani Media became the mouth organ of the Western media and did their best
to implicate the Talban Government of Afghanistan. US with a coalition of 49
countries launched naked aggression on the poorest country of the Muslim Ummah.
Every latest weapon, ammunition and explosive was used to teach a lesson to
those who had established an Islamic State on this Globe. The ‘War on Terrorism’
- a new terminology was introduced to suite own ends. The Muslim countries did
not appreciate the hidden motives of the West and thereafter, under the garb of
“Eradication of Terrorism” were made targets one after the other. The Muslim
countries have suffered a lot and apparently there is no way out to get out of
this menace.
The Media in Muslim countries remained busy in harping on the strings of the
West. Any news coming from the West was taken for granted to be true. There was
no need to testify its authenticity. Look at the video showing flagging of a
woman in Swat area. Alas! The video was shown by all the channels in Pakistan.
It was only after a considerable damage had been done to Pakistan that a very
few courageous writers pointed out that no such incident had ever taken place in
Swat.
The Pakistani Media also showed a video wherein Talban were being trained in
some remote areas of Blochistan. The video was a fake but no Channel was
bothered to check its authenticity. The video marred the image of my beloved
motherland. Mukhataran Maii and many other such characters were given wide
coverage only to defame Pakistan. Similarly recurring acts of blasphemy by
minorities were given undue wide coverage by the Media. The Media should have
found out the reason of such occurrences in quick succession. Sorry to say that
Media is only interested in more and more “Breaking News.”
Malala was shot in the forehead. The first news of her injury was from CNN and
not from national channels. She was evacuated to Queen Elizbeth Hospital,
Birmingham. She was operated upon and after a few days was discharged.
Surprisingly neither the hairs were shaved off at the place of wound nor a scar
was seen at the effected place. Right from her school days she was guided by the
vested interests to follow a particular approach. Resultantly she was awarded
many certificates, degrees and prizes, the highest being Noble Prize. She met
many world fame leaders. In fact she was being groomed as future PM of Pakistan
(She has also expressed her desire as such). The Western media played a major
role in taking an ordinary girl to the zenith of glory. Pakistani media did not
lag behind in projecting her as an innocent, sincere and die hard girl
interested in the education and uplift of women folk in Pakistan. Alas while
doing so our Media could not understand the hidden motives of the West.
A point to ponder: Why Professor Hafiz Saeed has been shown as Daaish’s head in
Pakistan. Hafiz Seed is a thorn in the neck of Bharat. She thinks that Freedom
Movement in Kashmir can be controlled only if the last traces of Lashkar-e-Taiba
are eliminated from Pakistan. Bharat alone cannot do so hence a need to mobilize
the world opinion against Hafiz Saeed. It is a pity that a few channels of
Pakistani Media, instead of analyzing the poisonous move by the Western media
and its ill effects on Pakistan, toed their line and started harping on their
strings.
It is strongly felt that each Pakistani channel must have a Think Tank
comprising of patriot employees to prep a list (and also keep revising it) of
topics to be discussed. These Think Tanks should be empowered to stop any live
transmission if it is against the interest of the State. Let us be vigilant and
keep an eye on pseudo intellectuals lest they should damage the strategic
interests of the State of Pakistan.
