Redial media calls for blanket ban on information in Pakistan. They want to tell their side of story, propaganda and completely stop the version of other side.

So that people of Pakistan can not judge from both versions. And remain misguided from one sided story.

Following is the article in Pakistani newspaper.

APP starts promoting Indian govt’s Kashmir propaganda

—State news agency of Pakistan contributes to India’s propagandaover HR violations in Occupied Kashmir
—Releases propaganda press release of Indian officials to local, international media
—often makes blunders of releasing un-edited reports of foreign news agencies regarding Kashmir
By Shakeel Ahmed

ISLAMABAD—Believe it or not, but it has been established that country’s State news agency the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) that is run by the government and is funded by the money of country’s tax payers is actually acting as if it has been given the duties to protect and promote the view point of the government of Indian and Indian Armed Forces.

In a latest move in this direction, a leading national daily, yesterday (Monday) published a news, crediting APP. The news, released by APP was in fact a clarification by the Special Director General of Indian’s Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF). In the news N.K Tripathi, the DG of the CRPF had stated that the CRPF was not responsible for the brutal killing of a 16 year old innocent Muslim boy in Indian Occupied Kashmir. The statement of the DG of the CRPF of India was released to local and international media by the official news agency of Pakistan while the global human rights organizations and Kashmiri citizens had strongly blamed and criticized CRPF for the killing of Zahid Farooque, a 16 year old innocent boy of the held valley by the CRPF personnel after brutally torturing him. At a time when the Indian government and specially the security forces of India were looking for any opportunity to propagate in defence the gross HR violations and brutalities of occupying Forces in the held valley, the State news agency of Pakistan came forward to elaborate the view point of Indian government.. Interestingly, the said report was not released even by India’s State news agency Press Trust of India (PTI) but Pakistan’s APP took pride in contributing to the Indian government’s propaganda campaign to cover-up gross HR violations by Indian Security Forces in the occupied Kashmir.

This is not the first time that the APP has played havoc with news of sensitive nature and Pakistan’s stand over the Indian occupied Kashmir. In the past, at many occasions, APP has been forwarding news that it purchases from different foreign news agencies, without any check or necessary editing. At many occasions, APP released the news of certain biased foreign agencies, terming Kashmiri freedom fighters as terrorists.

Anonymity requesting sources at the APP informed The Daily Mail that the head of the Urdu section and the Chief News Editor Urdu at the APP are by no means capable of handling the jobs they have been given on political recommendations. These sources say that The Urdu News section heads do not bother to monitor or edit the news translation into Urdu from English during the process of releasing the news of foreign news agencies. These sources say that the Monday blunder was also because of the lethargic attitude of the Director Co-ordination who is responsible for release of Urdu news.
These sources further said that since lot of recruitments in the APP were made during the last few months on political recommendations, by passing merit, the State news agency was bound to make such bloopers. To a question, the sources did not rule out the involvement of Indian Intelligence agency RAW in the such activities to damage the cause of Kashmir and to project Indian propaganda over the issue.
It remains a fact that the government of Pakistan spends billions of rupees every year to fund APP with the aim to project the Pakistan’s view point over all the national and international issues and with special focus of promoting the plight of residents of Occupied Kashmir and to promote the just cause of Kashmiris, yet the APP is not making mockery of the cause of Kshmiris but also shocking the tax payers of the country by promoting Indian government’s propagandas with Pakistani tax payers’ money.
It is learnt that a sensitive agency has also started its probe into this matter of highly sensitive nature at the APP’s end.
