Pakistan has been in massive fluctuations since the Pakistani government started operation in Swat and the other heaven like valleys in Northern Areas against Taliban. Some of the parties are criticizing the Government owing to operation. All the International countries like US, European etc are also in the favor of operation against the militants. Before this operation, Pakistan had to face overwhelming criticism on Nizam-E-Adal agreement with Taliban. American criticism reached a plateau as soon as President Zardari signed the agreement. But instead of clean-up the mess in their own country, they always point fingers on Pakistan. Let’s illuminate some of the American demons and their management errors.
The Aryan Brotherhood (notorious prison gang) was established to provide protection for White individuals from Black and Hispanic groups, most specifically the Mexican Mafia. For those who don’t know about Aryan Brotherhood. “The Aryan Brotherhood, also known as the AB or The Brand, is a White prison gang numbering about 15,000 members in and out of prison. In March 2006, four leaders of the Aryan Brotherhood were indicted for numerous crimes, including murder, conspiracy, drug trafficking, racketeering and dog fighting. According to the FBI, although the gang makes up less than 1% of the prison population, it is responsible for up to 18% of murders in the federal prison system.”
Guantanamo Bay is also one of the American’s bitter lollypops. They sentenced cruel and unethical punishments to the prisoners. Recent reports and pictures disclose the truth and caused great awkwardness for the Americans. Certainly, there were some (so called) terrorists in the prison but there isn’t any law which allows them to treat prisoners ruthlessly. Some of the devils crossed the limit and carried out profane acts especially against Islam. US soldiers comprising the NATO forces are still killing thousands of innocents in Afghanistan and Pakistan through Drone attacks. They aren’t even differentiating the militants and the local inhabitants. NATO forces have accustomed of slaughtering innocent children and women.
Recent CNN report reveals the pathetic management and shortcomings of American Stewards. Summary of the Report is quoted below:
“Loose record-keeping caused the Pentagon and the U.S. command in Iraq to lose track of about 110,000 AK-47 rifles and 80,000 pistols provided to the new Iraqi national police and army, the Government Accountability Office told Congress. The investigative arm of Congress, the GAO also found that 250,000 pieces of body armor and helmets can't be accounted for.” taken from CNN official website.
Another CNN report exposes latest security error of missing US weapons in Afghanistan.
“A congressional investigation reveals that thousands of weapons are unaccounted for and may be in the hands of the Taliban or Al-Qaeda, recalling other recent security failures.” taken from CNN official website.
They claim to be the most civilized nations. But what they did in Guantanamo Bay was ruthless. There aren’t two opinions about the cruel and profane intentions of the Americans. Russian invaders had more than 1, 00,000 soldiers in Afghanistan but Pashtuns (Afghani people) didn’t surrender and fought courageously against them. On the other hand, NATO force which consists of 26 countries armies, only have 80,000 soldiers there for the last 8 years and there is still no bode of victory. Ultimately, before criticizing Pakistan they must review of their own fragile policies and management.

Role of Media in Pakistan
A state can’t be strong and prosperous without four important pillars and Media is one of them. Constructive role of media can play a significant role in a country’s advancement. Media can be divided in two categories Electronic Media and second is Print Media. Ever since I am born I have only seen the efficient role of print media which includes newspapers, magazines etc. I am not General Musharraf’s follower but the credit goes to him because in his tenure a bulk of TV channels came up in existence. Before that we were bound to watch PTV (National TV Channel) which broadcasting usually shuts at 9 pm. In other words we can say that Musharraf gave birth to all these channels despite of being a dictator. He always emphasized on the independence of media. Although that is another thing, that media was a major element which leads him to his political career death.
There cannot be two opinions that that Pakistani media is playing quite neutral and exotic role. Media is pointing out the deficiencies in our national institutions. They are trying their best to figure out the deficiencies in our administrative and political structure. They also appreciate the positive and lucrative work done by the Government. Pakistani media’s effort to bring stability and take our country on progression’s path is really praiseworthy. Now whenever one put on TV one can find a lot of talk shows regarding to the political situation in Pakistan. Media brings us latest news about events and developments immediately. Print media has also got a boost like electronic media. Both of them are working side by side to bring prosperity in Pakistan.
The core purpose of media is to educate the people of a country. Media can bring effective changes in a society by awaking the people. In addition media can cause disruption or can strengthen a society simultaneously. Even though as compared to the Indian media, our media still needs a lot of things to learn. Pakistani media should be more efficient. No doubt Pakistan is an under developing country unlike India. The basic quality I (and probably all of you) found in Indian media, they only highlight the good things of their country. There is also a great misery in India. A bulk of people sleeps on the roads. Not only this, people are using footpaths for living purposes. They even pay to live on the streets and footpaths. But they never highlight these kinds of facts. Conversely our media is revealing a lot of things which should not be exposed. For instance, whenever a Taliban commander threatens the Government, media starts displaying the statements. But on the other hand, they provide opportunity to the US and other countries officials to dictate Pakistani Government. Especially Americans put overwhelming pressure on our Government.
Every picture has two sides. Media only see the front side of a situation and neglect the other side which can be harmful for our country’s image. Our media definitely presents the news and events in a positive way but some of them do have negative impression. No doubt that it’s a competitive world and media is also working in a competitive environment. Few TV channels and newspapers sometimes publish unverified news and information. Last year I read in newspaper that oil prices in international market has drop down to 39 PKR. But that was fake information I confirmed it from couple of authorized websites. Lately I read that someone said that Imran Khan (Chairman Tehreek-E-Insaaf) doesn’t have a luck line in his hand. Although in the very next day the newspaper expressed regret about the unproven information. Ultimately I would appeal to all the media personnel’s to be more careful while publishing or showing anything.
