Sir: Pakistan’s weak position at international front in favour of Kashmir shattering hope of Kashmiries across the border due to our weak economy and diplomatic grounds. Our slogans Kashmir Banay Ga Pakistan has a history of influencing public opinion by appealing to masses’ emotional senses and shaping beliefs. These invoked beliefs have frequently been a causation of some actions in the forms of riots, demonstration, protests or even revolutions. From Inquilab Zindabad to Ban kay rahay ga Pakistan to Jay Bengole, we have seen the whole map of subcontinent change. Such is the power of linguistics of a slogan it is capable to carry in itself. In the current scenario of oppressive and forceful regime of Indian government over the occupied valley, some sectors of international media are playing their roles adequately, e.g Amnesty International, where Pakistani media contrasts in its role on one point from them. That is in associating a humanitarian issue with a nationalistic rhetoric by chanting somewhat consequential slogans. We as a nation, should support Kashmiris by being vocal about the plebiscite to be held in the valley in the interest of Kashmiris alone. The issue of Kashmir Banay Ga Pakistan or India, in that matter, should be left for later. For this moment, it is the Free Kashmir, and demand for plebiscite in the valley on international fronts, that should be on our priority list and media’s role is supreme in it. Indeed, it is Pakistan’s moral duty to voice the miseries of its fellow Muslim state, but not at the expense of its own citizens.We have yet to achieve a strong diplomatic foothold in global politics by strengthening our position economically and by uprooting extremism. We have yet to meet the IMF conditions, and erase the threat posed by FATF to our national sovereignty. Hence, war was and never will be an option in any circumstances. NIDA KHATTAK Lahore
