Now here is another reference, that I am sure, most of us are not the patients of short time memory syndrome. After Musharraf era, PPPP was elected and then after PMLN ruled country. Despite incompetency of few within PMLN to understand a situation, know the power of armed forces and how to utilize expertise as & when needed; been largely maligning Military but also, use to throw tantrums followed by hateful speeches against most of the institutes.
What PMLN etc did was not just the issue but hired/paid media played with all of its might to propagate and fuel the fire on an agenda. There was less reporting but more of the efforts to establish a narrative that Civilian & Military leadership is on different pages of history while having bad relations where Military was maligned for being anti-Democratic process. Pity that many pro-claimed intellectuals agreed to the most propagated narrative & started to believe as such.
Now the question arises as why would PMLN will do so, paying media houses/journalists at large and continue with propaganda to defame own Military. Well, the treason is a common name in this regard which actually differs & varies due to geographical aspects as well as culture & customs of different regions. Indeed, in Pakistan people will compromise over many things but when it is about Motherland & Military then there are masses that wouldn't tolerate the same as such. The love for Military is not as such as patriots wouldn't agree for accountability across the board but on other hand, how can one call them anti-Democracy or State? the same way where these political thugs or corrupt media persons cannot be called traitors, therefore, the deliberate split was always part of the scheme and from top to bottom, everyone whosoever was employed under different terms of compensations in return; been doing everything to establish an anti-Military or State narrative.
The whole chemistry and propaganda can be understood in simple words that Media was utilized to repeat again & again same narrative, create news instead to bringing an original one, repeat sugar coated lies, rely upon anonymous source to avoid being questioned for authenticity and then build a narrative by brainwashing people through non-stop media coverage of lies. Internet is so full of information in regard to the subject however, here we can relate different events to understand as such. Just as a fresh reference which we have been listening for so long and many believed into but ...... the reality is....
Civil-military rift was myth created by past govt: PM
