Claimants of Karachi Airport Attack & Operation “Zarb-e-Azab”!!!

Pak-Army in Operation "Zarb-e-Azb" against terrorists
          One may have heard the stories of quarrel between Police officers of two different Police Stations over the boundary or area of responsibility which leads to the benefit of culprits. However, the struggle to deny responsibility of attack over country’s largest Karachi airport; which proves at least one thing that terrorists might have failed to achieve their target, but at least Provincial and Federal governments both have failed. This is true that security arrangements and administration of Airports is responsibility of Federal govt.  but this is also bitter reality that Karachi airport administered by Federal govt. is located in Karachi Sindh for which Provincial govt. is responsible for the security as well as scrutiny of persons visiting airport. Due to this immature behavior of our governments not only terrorists succeeded in attack over airport, dozens of families lost their only source of income and image of Pakistan had been hurt all over the world. The attitude of our governments aside, some our intellectuals also practiced same lack of sensibility and started creating chaos among public (as they always do) that why our intelligence agencies failed to detect movement or transportation of such a big amount  weapons and inform govt. regarding the terrorists’ plan of attack over airport? While on the other hand why only airports, the security arrangements and hurdles outside all important buildings like District Courts, Railway stations etc. all are meant to stop any attempt by the terrorists. Even innocent children are aware that concrete blocks on the main gates of their schools are for thwarting any attempt by the terrorists. However, after the questions and concerns raised by media, intelligence agencies on the Federal level had to give the explanation that not only Civil Aviation Authority but Sindh as well as federal govt. had been warned three times in black and white of possible attack by the terrorists. Moreover, after Karachi airport terrorist attack, responsible departments had been warned that terrorists may attack big mall in Karachi and take people there as hostage.

Terrorists that attacked Karachi airport

          Regarding amount of weapons, their identity etc. I have already expressed concerns in my previous post that it is impossible for terrorists to pass through security check points and carryout assault directly; except that weapons had been already dumped in the airport. Airport administration and govt. tried to hide their incapability by saying that terrorists were in the uniform of Airport Security Force due to which they were not identified and knapped on time. Now one should ask those forwarding this lame excuse that where in the whole world including Pakistan, Airport Security personnel fulfill their duty with loaded rocket launchers along with spare rockets, dozens of hand grenades hanging with his uniform and Kalashnikovs.

          However, despite of the unserious and astonishing attitude of federal and provincial governments; security officer of Karachi airport revealed to a English daily on the condition of non-disclosure of his name that terrorists dumped weapons a day before the attack in the premises of airport for which they had support from inside the airport. According to this report, full support was extended to terrorists from inside. To what extent this claim is true and officials of what level were on the side of the terrorists, what were the basis of their support for terrorists religious or just bribe? They made deal of the lives of their colleagues, passengers and image of Pakistan; all this will be clarified after investigations. However, acceptance of responsibility by Taliban for attack over airport as a revenge of Hakim-Ullah Mehsood’s murder but after few days another terrorist organization, “Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan” claimed that their terrorists were involved in this attack as a revenge of bombardment of security forces in tribal areas.

Terrorists...

          It does not end here, after Uzbek Movement claimed responsibility by uploading pictures of their ten terrorists from different angles on their social media website; the report presented in UNO that Uzbek and Pakistani Al-Qaeda terrorists are conducting attacks over Afghan forces.  What does this report mean; another charge sheet against Pakistan? Or is this an attempt to force Pakistani and Afghan army in another war. According to New York Times the report presented in the UNO claims that Al-Qaeda Uzbek terrorists are continuously targeting Afghan forces which might be a threat to international peace. According to the report NATO forces had not yet withdrawn from Afghanistan but terrorist attack are still going on which are a threat to the Afghanistan but South and Central Asia, peace as well. This report had been forwarded by those experts in UNO who are responsible to monitor ban that had been imposed over Taliban; this report claims that TTP linked with Al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and Lashkar-e-Taiba are attacking Afghan forces in Eastern and Southern Afghanistan. This is also a bitter reality that after every terrorist attack US and Indian media starts propaganda against Pakistan. Pakistan is the only country of the world that is target of terrorists since USA had launched her so-called War on Terror. American higher officials and defense analysts have confessed occasionally that India is directly involved in the terrorism in Pakistan via Afghanistan but our Foreign Policy is aimed at “Trade with India at all Costs”.

          Let’s come back to our today’s topic that is the attack over Karachi Airport (the administrative shortcomings would be discussed later) which has exhausted the patience of govt. regarding operation against terrorists otherwise from last one year after every terrorist attack govt. had been singing the chorus of negotiations with Taliban and terrorists while Taliban kept on targeting innocent people in their terrorist activities. After seeing the unserious attitude of the negotiation committee for peace talks with Taliban; defense analysts had said that govt. announces negotiations but does not take any serious steps for negotiations. Still names of the participants of the committees for negotiations had not been specified, defense analysts said that in the name of negotiations few govt. advisors are buying time for terrorists to reestablish themselves, find safe heavens before operation, dump weapons from Afghanistan etc. because solution of terrorism is not in the negotiations or peace talks but devastating operation. The delay of 8 months in the operation by govt. resulted in loss of innocent lives, property of billions had been destroyed and Central leadership of TTP fled to Afghanistan to reorganize under American umbrella.
         


          Operation “Zarb-e-Azab” had been started for which fresh troops had been sent to Waziristan agency; the number of troops present there and in the way they are advancing towards enemy, nation is hopeful that Pak-army will crush terrorists. Nation supports Pakistani forces in this operation. Prime Minister had also expressed intention to stand with the forces in this operation against terrorists in his speech but this should not be limited to speeches only. Prime Minister should visit the frontlines in order to encourage our soldiers that they are not alone in this war of defense of motherland. Moreover, terrorists are capable of taking steps to fulfill their nefarious designs through their supporters that are already hiding in the cities and they have already shown this so in spite of depending on the corrupt system of police, govt. should chalk out a security plan just like the Islamabad in coordination with Pakistan army in order to thwart any terrorist plan.

Destruction at Karachi Airport due to Terrorist Attack

          Let’s come back towards loopholes in the security and ill-administration of Karachi airport. As per international laws of CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) holding Emergency Exercise, Fire Exercise once in a year is compulsory; so any such compulsory had been ever held on Jinnah Airport Karachi in past years. Karachi airport is not only the largest airport of Pakistan but one of the largest airports of the South Asia. As per rules the Airport Manager of such an important airport shall must have experience of managing a medium level airport. Does the current manager fulfil these conditions? According to the reports Senior Officer GM of the Karachi airport was transferred to Lahore so that a Junior and inexperienced person may be appointed as airport manager due to close relations with Chief of CAA who was out of country on 4 months leave that he had procured from CAA Chief in spite of his Director. Another jolting report is that Deputy Airport Manager of Karachi airport is an engineer and has no experience of administration and appointed due to close relations with CAA Chief once again. Does anyone has the courage to ask Airport Manager that according to the Standing Orders Procedure had he informed higher officials regarding technical and administrative problems being faced by airport administration in which he had mentioned inexperience and leave of subordinates? Why was the tender given to the water tankers to bring water outside of airport while airport had such facility? Does not this mean that water pumps installed in the airport are no more functional, is not this the responsibility of airport administration to keep these pumps in working condition? Weak boundary wall of airport from cargo site was known by the everyone working on the airport; so was not this the responsibility of the airport manager to inform his higher ups? However, after terrorist attack when this question was raised he prepared a report in past date and handed over to his lovely Chief of CAA. If we look at these concerns and nepotism as presented above not only in all the airports but all the govt. departments are undergoing same lack of sense of responsibility which may cause some big tragedy in the backdrop of current operation at Waziristan. Moreover, just like TERRORISM, Incapability had also become one of the national tragedies…

Attack on Karachi Airport! Is There Anyone to Take Responsibility of Negligence?

Karachi Airport under Attack
               After oath taking of Current govt. and change of Chief of Army staff, scenario and situation is changing rapidly. On the one hand there are mega projects for which Pakistan has been forced into the international debs; on the other hand the relaxations for powerful mafia & business community and after looking at the activities of the political elite it can be easily predicted that despite of imposition of uncountable taxes, nation will not be able to get out of these debts for next half century. Because on the one hand whole burden has been shifted to middle class and poor in the form of indirect taxes, on the other hand ruling class is busy in extravagancy at the expense national treasury. Increasing prices and unemployment had resulted in increase in crimes against common man because Police protection and Private Security guards are only within the reach of the elite class. On the other hand govt. had increased the prices of necessities to such an extent that they have become out of reach of the masses. Yes! Few families are minting money by day and night or perhaps with every passing second but there number out 200 million will be 0.2 to 0.4 million. Rest of the public is just “Alive”; neither rulers nor elite are concerned about the suffering of the public.
               A change in the war against terrorism on the internal level was observed when new Army Chief warned terrorists that terrorism would not be tolerated anymore and this warning was realized when in reaction of a terrorist act, jets of Pakistan Air Force destroyed hideouts of terrorists. Newly elected govt. that was willing to resolve the problem of terrorism through negotiations wasted so much time in start of the talks that defense analysts termed these negotiations not only as fruitless but also an attempt to give time to terrorists to reorganize and re-strengthen themselves. With the passage of time the stance of these analysts proved to be true; on the one hand terrorists were carrying out suicide bomb blasts and on the other hand govt. was claiming that negotiations are the only way towards peace.


           Weapons Recovered from the Terrorists

        During this another example was set in the country which was never seen before not would be observed in any other country in future; a media group that was busy in propaganda against sensitive agencies since long ago decided to openly clash with the armed forces of the country in the name of freedom of expression. What were the reasons behind this or what were the nefarious goals behind this attempt; no talk-show or research has been held on this topic but we have painted it as the clash between a media group and armed forces that are responsible for the defense of the motherland. Govt. not only failed to react in time but acted in such a manner as it was standing with the media group against armed forces. Whatever, different point of view our anchorpersons, journalists, defense analysts or intellectuals have on the attack of a media group over armed forces; but abroad whole drama is being seen in a different scenario whether it is wrong or true, this is to be decided by you
               Amaud De Borchgrave, famous American journalist from Washington starts his post “Pakistan: Decline and Fall” published on 02 June 2014 in these words,
“Pakistan’s Taliban known as TTP are facing major army offensive against the wishes of PM Nawaz Sharif . TTP (Tehreek Taliban Pakistan) enjoyed Nawaz’s protection under the banner of peace negotiations to buy time. But the army decided the time was up and launched a major offensive against TTP in North Waziristan on North Border. Geo the TV Network what supports TTP and Nawaz’s peace talks, offered two of its news executives to represent Taliban in peace negotiations and to be in negotiations”.

Western intellectuals do not consider propaganda of Geo against intelligence agencies and armed forces just a personal clash but they are viewing it through a different angle. However, in spite of apparent apologies Geo TV has not stopped its propaganda for a moment and after prolonging the dispute for undue time, on the day Geo TV was banned by PEMRA for 15 days and fined Rs 10 million (which is nothing more than the insult of defense departments) on the same day Geo TV served a notice to Defense Ministry and ISI either to apologize or pay Rs 50 billion within 14 days.

               An article “Indian Intelligence Agencies Continuously Nurturing Pakistani Journalists and Media Houses” based on research by Anjali Sharma and Kapil Warma, representatives of The Daily Mail from New Delhi is of much importance. Here I would like to quote just two paragraphs out of this long post:
“The Daily Mail's investigations indicate that Jang Group was trapped by RAW long ago. However, after the launch of media house's TV Channel, Geo TV, RAW's interest in this Pakistani media house grew to new extent. Geo TV was launched just a year or so before RAW launched its hostile covert war in Balochistan. With the mushroom growth of TV Channels across Pakistan, many of which are still surviving merely on shady foreign funding, Geo TV could not attain the expected revenues or one can say that the lust for more and more revenue generation eventually landed Geo to a stage where it started looking forward to means of foreign funding through one project or the other, without disclosing it to the public or the government.
It appears in the beginning, Geo TV administration got closer to the Indians to get benefitted from the experience of the relatively established TV media in the regions but eventually the media house landed deep into the sinister plans of RAW. The picture in this direction started to get clear visibility when after the infamous 2008 Mumbai attacks of 26/11, Jang-Geo group took a globally unprecedented turn and instead of defending national interests and instead of confronting Indian government and Indian media's anti-Pakistan propaganda campaigns, it toed the line of the Indians and tried its best to portray that Mumbai terror attacks were originated from Pakistan and indirectly pointed the finger towards Pakistan's top security agency the ISI.
The Daily Mail's investigations indicate that Indians have always been very active in nurturing and trapping individual journalists as well the media organizations to run certain covert operations against Pakistan. Sometimes the journalists willingly offered their services in this direction and in other cases some journalists unknowingly and rather innocently served the purposes of RAW.
Baton Charging PIA Staff and Passengers
               After terrorists attack over Karachi Airport two bitter realities become clear, 1) Pakistan is completely in war; 2) Pakistan has no other force or department to defend herself from internal or external threats to her integrity. Irony of the fate is that our rulers are not ready to accept both of these facts. According to them war is that which is fought only on the borders against foreign invaders. That is why whenever any tragic incident of terrorism occurs our rulers take it as a normal crime but for this only army had to face the culprits because internally police or any other department had not been organized or trained for such encounters besides protocol duties of political elite. Whenever Police had to face such a terrorist attack they either become easy target due to lack of training or run away from the spot to save their lives. How is it possible that 10 persons along with heavy weapons, dozens of grenades, rocket launchers etc. entered into the airport unchecked? Entering into the airport with such a heavy gear, reaching their specified targets and targeting resisting security personnel shows that terrorists were not only well trained but they had support from within the airport. Now this is a question that needs to be answered by investigations agencies that how 10 person succeeded in passing through police check posts along with such heavy weapons or the weapons were already dumped within the airport for the terrorists?
Using water in spite of Foam to control fire
               The facts regarding attack over airport would come into light after completion of investigations however, I would like to mention the press conference by Azam Tariq, representative of a group of TTP who has recently left TTP in which he says that TTP had been over ruled by criminals who are being trained and funded by foreign agencies along with supply of weapons but we are not ready to accept this reality that foreign agencies mean nexus of intelligence agencies of Afghanistan, India, Israel and USA in which pivotal role is being played by India. India! Which is apparently staging the drama of peace and friendship but in fact Indian involvement in any major terrorist attack is a bitter reality which is well known by our rulers but are criminally silent for their trade interests.
               Attack over Sri Lankan team in Lahore resulted in closure of Pakistani Cricket Stadiums, who benefitted from this, attack over Karachi Mehran Base, Kamra and Peshawar PAF air bases who was behind them; Pakistan has all these defense assets for defense from who, anyone whom has a little know how about sub-continent would answer “India”.
               How long would we die in parts, how long would we be target of terrorism, on social media we are being insulted that one who cannot defend their airports how will they defend their country? If we have to live with respect than we will have to identify and define our enemy. There is no enemy except India so we will have to give a clear message to the enemy, enough of the AMAN KI ASHA drama; sit down, negotiate on Kashmir and all other disputes and resolve them. Otherwise we are already facing deaths in terrorist attacks; in spite of living such a life of cowards covered with the fear it is better to have a last war. Whether we have to die in the hands of terrorists or live a respectful life; we will have to decide now. Public that survives terrorism is killed by increasing pries is ready for the final war but our so called representative and leaders will also have to decide now!!!

Pakistan’s Efforts for Normalization of Relations with India & her Response with Blame Games!!!


Propaganda against ISI
When Banglore Gwahati Super Express was pulling into Chennai Railway Station on 1st May 2014 at 07:30 AM, two explosions went off in two of its bogeys. Casualties included one woman dead and fourteen injured. Indian government preferred silence in this case. However, Tamil Nado Police Chief claimed to have arrested a Sri Lankan citizen named Zakir Hussain and blamed ISI. He also claimed that a case has been registered against Amer Zubair Siddiqui, Visa Councilor of Pakistani High Commissioner in Sri Lanka. He alleged that ISI is using Muslim majority areas in Sri Lanka and Pakistani high commission is facilitating entry of agents into India.

Tamil police chief also alleged that Zakir Hussain has been in and out of India several times. He has recorded videos of Israeli and US consulates in Chennai for ISI. This time he was tasked to gather information about Indian military installations in Tamil Nado. A storm of propaganda kicked off in Indian electronic and print media as usual. However, Sri Lanka was also made a target this time. So called members of South Asian Analyst Group (SAAG) (majority of these are ex-employees of RAW), are at the forefront. Editorials and articles were published and propaganda still continues. These members of SAAG has also been involved in fomenting terrorism in Sri Lanka. Mr. Hari Haran, an Indian army retired Lieutenant Colonel, who has commended elements of RAW in Sri Lanka from 1987-1990 in the garb of Indian peace enforcing force. In his article titled ‘who planned Chennai bomb attacks, alleges that Pakistan Army, ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba are involved in these terrorist incidents. This article was published in all major English Daily Newspapers. The writer has disregarded every moral norms of journalism. In an article published in Indian Express titled ‘Pakistani official named in FIR for Zakir Hussain’ published on 9th May 2014, has targeted Sri Lanka while giving details of Pakistani diplomat Amer Siddiqui.
Extremist Hindus rule over the roads and cities on the Oath Taking Ceremony of Narendra Modi
It is interesting to note that Sri Lankan media countered Indian propaganda effectively by referring to Indian role in Tamil Insurgency from 1980-1990 and their help to Tamil separatists in fomenting one of the bloodiest terrorism in the history of that country. On the other hand, no reaction came from Pakistani government and media. On the day, Pakistani prime minister was visiting India for oath taking ceremony of Narendra Modi, Indian media was full of allegations against Pakistan. Some Indians welcomed Pakistani Mrime minister with anti-Pakistan protests. Or it was on the behest of Bhartia Janta Party. Whatever was the reason, Indian prime minister made it clear to his Pakistani counterpart, “in the noise of explosions, voices of negotiation cannot be heard”.

Pakistani Prime Minister travelled to India without a media team, hence no details and observations came to light in Pakistani media. However, Sushma Swaraj, arch enemy of Pakistan, briefed Indian media on details meeting between the two Prime Ministers. She claimed that Pakistani Prime Minister was pressurized for speedy investigations on Bombay attack. According to her, Pakistani Prime Minister assured to address all Indian demands in half hour long meeting. Pakistani prime minister did not raise the issues of Indian involvement in Baluchistan, Sir Creek dispute, Indian intrusion in Siachen and Kashmir. An impression was conveyed by Indian officials that Pakistan is being brought under Indian influence as promised in general elections by BJP. Indian media was very happy over visit arrangement. Pakistani Prime Minister met Shabana Azmi, her husband, Indian actress Hima Malini and members of Indian business community. He didn’t spare time for meeting with Kashmiri delegation. Sartaj Aziz, advisor to Pakistani Prime Minister, had only one exucse say that meeting with Kashmiris was not on the agenda.
Spears and swords; favourite weapon of Hindu extremists for massacre of minorities in India
Pakistani Prime Minister came back from India with five Indian demands related to Bombay attacks. It seems that agenda of visit was to receive these baseless Indian demands. Hopelessness expressed by Kashmiri leaders is real and justified. Pakistani prime minster considers progress of Pakistan in improved economic relations with India! He has ignored BJP and Narendra Modi’s election campaign based on anti-Pakistan venom. Narendra Modi has appointed ex Indian army chief, V K Singh who has been heading Anti-Pakistan Wing in Indian Secret Agencies. Our ‘independent media’ has only time for alleged atrocities by Pakistan Army in Balochistan, missing person case and ‘Aman ki Asha’ with India, they have no time for appointment of V K Singh as security advisor to Indian prime minister. Our leaders also willfully ignored revelations of V K Singh and his anti-Pakistan role. Indian government is well known in orchestrating terrorism on its own people in order to malign Pakistan. Facts unearthed in Indian courts and Hemant Kurkuray are case in point. Extremist Hindu activists aligned with BJP and likeminded Indian army officers have been awarded punishments in courts for bomb attacks on Indian citizens and mosques. To remove Hemant Kurkuray, Indian officer in anti-terrorism squad, Bombay attacks were staged.
Mr Nawaz congratulating Narendra Modi after his oath taking
Bal Thakray and LK Advani had threatened Hemant Kurkuray to remain away from Indian national and security policies. He knew that Military Intelligence and RAW has decided to remove him from the anti-terrorist post. He was always ready to face attempt on his life. Hemant Kurkuray had expressed his opinion to US Ambassador to India (details are in Wiki Leaks). Attacks on Taj and Obroy Hotels in Bombay were staged to draw Hemant Kurkuray into the scene. When his team reached the scene, he along with his colleagues was murdered in a back street. Bombay media reported that Indian secret agencies had at last succeeded in removing Hemant Kurkuray from their way. To subdue this vital media report, India media carried anti-Pakistan stories next day. A proponent of ‘Aman ki Asha’ TV Channel went at length to cover up involvement of Indian government and agencies in Bombay attack. A long documentary was aired on Pakistani private channel alleging that ten individuals from Pakistan intruded into Bombay via a collapsible boat (that could only accommodate four persons) with all their lethal gear. Bombay had been ‘no go’ area for Pakistanis. However, the media team from the private channel was accommodated in Bombay and given all facilities. But, Bombay media is still apprehensive about involvement of Indian government in engineering the whole event. No circumstantial evidence has been able to convince our leaders of BJP’s anti-Pakistan policies!!! They seem to be all out to Indian friendship at all costs.

Why European Union is worried Over Freedom of Media in Pakistan..?


            On 17th July 2003, dead body of David Kelly was found in bushes 5 miles away from his house in such a condition that veins of his wrists of both hands were cut; due to bleeding he had died. Within no time British govt. termed his death as suicide, however, Free Media of Europe and USA who was well aware of the facts did not dare to disclose the facts and true story. No one dared to ask that why would a scientist like David Kelly would choose such a painful way for suicide; if this was true that he had cut down his own veins why there was no blade or any other sharp edged thing found around his dead body? The silence of free media of West was in continuity of the same plan of CIA and MI6, which had been used for allegations like presence of weapons of mass destruction to crush Iraq. In order to capture the Iraqi hundreds of thousands innocent lives were made target of modern weapons developed by modern civilized nations of the world. David Kelly was the member of the same team that was responsible for search and exploration of weapons of mass destruction and that had signed the report fabricated by Western Intelligence agencies and had been equally responsible for the massacre of millions in Iraq.

            When the news regarding war crimes and violations of human rights in Iraq by civilized Western nations broke out; it was the BBC, CNN and free Western media that was portraying Bush and Tony Blair as saviors who had freed Iraqi people from dictatorship of Saddam Hussein and introduced Iraqis to the gang rapes in the hands of Western Civilized soldiers. US Media had portrayed President Johnson as savior of Vietnamese; how US and Western Media protects and portrays their establishment, armed forces and intelligence agencies, editorial written by David Lawrence  in February 1996 may be quoted as an example. In his editorial he writes, “Brave armed forces of US had set such an example of humanitarian sympathy in Vietnam that one cannot find any example of it”. Not only this when different NGOs and human rights associations protested against deaths in iraq due to American bombardment; this protest was also against Western and US media that was running propaganda to hide war crimes of their armies; Wane Arthur editor of Evening News and member of one of the NGO protesting media said that he cannot protest against Media because he is an American journalist and he will only support USA.

David Kelley

            In contrast to the US and UK propaganda over presence of weapons of Mass Destruction, Andrew Glectin reporter of BBC could not bear the sin of telling lies anymore and disclosed that all the reports by UK intelligence agencies were based upon lies and fabricated. This disclosure jolted British govt. and USA also had to face shame because USA and UK both have failed to prove the presence of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. British Defense Ministry on the report of MI5 disclosed that Andrew and Susan Watson were observed meeting with David Kelley; this was also reported that David Kelley was in contact with BBC when he was working as inspector of UNO in Iraq. On the order of Tony Blaire famous scientist was forced to defend himself in Inquiry Committee as criminals and to clarify that he had not disclosed anything regarding massacre of human beings and US-UK plans to BBC. After suspicious death of David Kelley although investigations in this regard were announced to be held about his suicide, however, BBC International was pressurized to apologize and announce that the news telecasted was fake, moreover, reporters who telecasted this report were asked to be removed from their jobs.

            BBC not only apologized but also dismissed one of its members. It is worth mentioning here that this is BBC International whose broadcast was started on the as need British MI6 during World War-II so that important orders and information can be sent to the British agents in France and Eastern Europe. The bitter reality is that whether it is USA, UK, India or Europe, their media have always tried to deceive their public regarding imperialist designs of their establishments as well as brain washing international community. They imposed fabricated threat in the minds of their subjects that enemy wants to destroy them i.e. symbols of civilization and protectors of human rights. Such like propaganda was injected in minds of the public against socialism however, after disintegration of Soviet Union, they (Western Media) painted Muslims as enemies of so-called civilized nations of West. Under the cover and protection of media first of all Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya were destroyed and now same game is being played Syria; however, astonishingly no one is ready to discuss the loss of lives and property that Muslims had to bear in these wars imposed by Civilized West. Millions of Muslims died, millions were forced to leave their houses, how they are suffering in refugee camps; who will help them to relocate and restart life or their fate is to die in miserable condition in refugee camps. But we see that Western media is leaving no stone unturned to prove the genocide of Jews in the hands of a Western Dictator, movies have been filmed, seminars are held, books are published and no one is allowed to negate the holocaust.

Bradley Manning; undergoing imprisonment for disclosing the war crimes of US soldiers

            Yes the media of these countries telecasts the news and scandals of their politicians and notables in such a way that people are deceived to consider their media as impartial and free. Moreover, these countries also portray their media as free and trustworthy so that whenever they want to attack any country, remove or impose govt. of their own choice on their target; people believe their propaganda and do not question their war crimes. The local media of target country is already under their control e.g. Pakistani media; the responsibility of promoting Two Nations Theory and raising voice for oppressed Kashmiris of Indian Held Kashmir is only being fulfilled by Nawa-i-Waqt and Waqt TV Channel. After watching Indian movies and culture on remaining channels one cannot establish any link between these channels, Islam and Pakistan.

            On 19th April after attack over Hamid Mir in the Daily Jang and Geo TV Channel utilized their newspaper and TV Channel against ISI and Pakistan army; moreover the disclosure published in connection with Hamid Mir that he had alleged ISI on the beck and call of the owners of the TV Channel; all this reinforces the concerns that this Media group is working for some special agenda of foreign powers. For example first of all pressurizing govt. for Laal Mosque operation by declaring occupants of Laal Mosque as B-team of Pak Army and General Pervaiz Musharraf in order to support their propaganda that with the support of army terrorists are about to take control of Islamabad and afterwards when operation started and the terrorists in Laal mosque got overpowered; the TV Channel also changed the side and started propaganda against Pak Army and declared soldiers as murderers of innocent people. Moreover, this media group laid another foundation stone in the treason by mutilating facts in Baluchistan and through its propaganda tried to make it an international issue. The issue of missing persons was represented as a charge sheet against Pakistan army and security agencies. Baloch traitors on self-exile were given special coverage and time in such a time when few pro-Indian American members of Congress were representing bill regarding separation of Pakistan. However, after disclosure by Hamid Mir over his attack it has become of utmost importance that what force was behind the attack and what were its goals?

            Especially regarding the foreign Propaganda of AMAN KI ASHA  and under its umbrella imposing Indian culture to Pakistan, portraying India as one of the heavens on earth where everywhere is prosperity and equal treatment for minorities (during their slaughter), extravagant life style of Indian actors etc. and engraving negative image of Pakistan only as a country of only violence, suicide bomb blasts, murders, armed robberies and terrorism in order to create chaos over Two Nations Theory. I think all these crimes of this media group are more serious than propaganda transmission against ISI.


            However, in spite of all this how should one term the concerns and restlessness of European Union over the banning of this media group that neither govt. wants to ban nor is about going to be banned? Yes this is the same European Union that is not ready to extend right of life to Julian Assange who disclosed American war crimes practicing the same right of freedom of expression for which European Union is restless in connection to Pakistan. Julian Assange who dared to practice right of freedom of expression against USA is hiding in the embassy of Ecuador in Britain because court of Stockholm has issued his international arrest warrants in connection with rape of two Swedish women and who is unaware that once Julian Assange is arrested he will be handed over to USA. European Union had not said a single word in support of Bradley Manning the US soldier who is in custody of USA for the crime of practicing right of freedom of expression and disclosing the barbaric war crimes of US and Western Soldiers. In the eyes of European Union ex-Technical Assistant of CIA, Edward Snowden is the worst enemy of humanity because he jolted the whole world through his interview to The Guardian by disclosing that USA tapes the telephonic calls of all the heads of the countries. Not only this USA is capable to intercept and record calls anywhere in the world. On 27th March 2011 when Secret Agency of Britain decided to silent The Guardian (over apology of Guardian it was being hoped that it would not banned), British Secret agency had full support of British govt. and European Union. In spite of all this if West and especially European Union and USA had concerns over the banning of a specific media group (that has not been banned) than it is clear that they are not concerned about the ban freedom of speech but they are worried that their propaganda partner would be exposed and who would further their agenda…
