Re: Musicians speak on the current situation
Rohail Hyatt says, "Now that all the news channels are off air, it suddenly hits you how far we had come and how Musharraf had given freedom. This is a glimmer of how things were back in the day when we were growing up. What is the 24 hours of negativity? Are there no good things that have happened or are happening? This doomsday scenario that was being played out by the media all the time was irresponsible. Media, news channels are a platform and it shapes the views of the people, the nation."
Absolutely! Now a lot of people are realising all the freedoms that Musharraf gave us.
Please emphasize on "GAVE" in this very sentence. Again, he gave us more than any other leader on freedom of speech, expression and created a total independent and free media. THank you. But the situation today has made us jump back to stone age. Pak's image around the world right now is worse as ever. Maybe even worse than at Zia's times.
