Dear Sky
I was preposterously shocked to hear an interview that one of your newscasters was conducting. He had invited four people discussing the ongoing situation in Afghanistan. Two were ex-British service men and two belonged to the so called “analysts” of the afghan war.
I was baffled to see one of the analyst say that the crux of the problem is Pakistan. There are ISI training camps in Pakistan, training the Taliban’s to carry out strikes in Afghanistan and then cross the border back to Pakistan for their safety.
The newscaster should have corrected him by saying that he should provide proof for his claims or “who had given him this piece of intelligence?”. The claim was as absurd as a claim made by one of the Pakistani analyst(on a local news channel) saying that “UK and USA’s intelligence is fuelling sectarian violence in Iraq by blowing up innocent Iraqis of different sects and blaming it on insurgents” at which point the Pakistani newscaster stopped him and asked him for proof and told him to abstain from conspiracy theories.
Please get your facts right , I quote general Abizaid and William Crocker (US ambassador to Pakistan) who in a recent interview said that people who say Pakistan should do more should come over to Pakistan and meet the widows and orphans of Pakistani soldiers who sacrificed their lives for a war that they were not a part of. People at sky making such remarks shows that our soldiers lost their lives in vain. Please make a public apology so that the next generation of Pakistani soldiers who are fighting “Your” war don’t lose hope in the dwindling attitude of their colonial masters.
