Do you agree with how DG ISPR engages on twitter?

[Cash GK]

His press engagement during the recent Indo/Pak skirmish was really good but his conduct on twitter leaves much to be desired.

I am not sure Pakistan Army needs its chief spokesperson to engage every other gullly ka kutta on twitter.

When you do it even with your personal account, you not only expose yourself but as someone representing Pakistan Army, the whole institution to 2-bit twitter insults. Recently he was even replying to random Bharati journalists.

There are more than enough patriotic Pakistanis (literally thousands) who can counter lies against our state.

I liked General Bajwa's conduct more. There was a sense of firmness and he let the actions of the institution do the talking instead of putting himself in the spotlight.

This is what he is paid for..before every son of b... used to bark on man who served this nation for 40 years and he was not able to Express his views. Most concern person on Pakistan was not able to Express his thoughts . The person who's men were fighting for our survival and give lives for this country he was not allowed to tel his people what he is thinking..Pakistan is fighting 5genration war..ptm n leage ppp India Afghanistan.. army is most concern party in this game. I thank ik and chief to let dg ispr to speak on matters

That is what he must understand.

I am sure he does. And he is doing what he is doing according to his understanding of his responsibilities.

Lal ge forget that spelling stuf.. I was trying to Express my feelings

On the whole..yes I'm satisfied. Though I wish there were more people like him but still Pakistanis are quite good and getting better on the social media. Pakistani especially Punjabis are jovial and creative people in hurling insults on the anti-Pakistan hybrid war agents.

Sometimes is good . But not much Specially he must not reply Indian or other trolls.

You are comparing politicians to a spokesperson of a professional army.

The more apt comparison would be with spokespersons of other professional armies.



Looks like he has a lot of fans.

The others professional army have certainly others means to do what our DG ISPR is doing. They have many mass media at their disposal to do same things as our DG ISPR.

But i think we are all praising him for what he did against India during the last events.

By doing this he shown us what shobe done.

Now we should reorganise the task. To setup a team of civil/military for that matter.

A person at such position should ideally not have an active personal Twitter ID. But he probably knows better and thus his interactions with people there.

 

[Path-Finder]

No issues with his presence but he puts to much spotlight on himself as a person.

I have made my arguments in the opening post and in my reply to Ghazi.

As I have said, I liked General Asim Bajwa's approach more.

there is a significant group made up of; traitors, rent a liberal or faux liberal. Then there are the those who play on both fields they become patriotic and then they go off say something that crosses all limits. Then ofcourse the political scum and their poojari.

These are the people who have a major issue with ISPR on twitter. They don't account for even 1% of the population.

He's good in Twiplomacy, He understands using Twitter quickly to give a larger presence on the world stage. I like his intelligence to spreading information quicker than through other slow channels. On Twitter, he can cover everything from administrative efficiency through to enhanced emergency response times. to spread its messages globally with no ‘gatekeepers’ such as the media or vested interests. I think we should learn from him, how to use twitter like all social media tools.

None of Indian's concern.

 

[HAIDER]

I think , sometime too many tweets for some irrelevant issues. For example cricket, etc . But tweets should only be used for national security measures or issues , better not responding some journalist.
Lately, ISPR been engage with journalist many times and also raised the issue of PTM, which should be stayed low profile and let the govt spokesman handle situation and provide unconditional protection to Pak army operation in FATA region, instead ISPR come froward and clear its position through tweets or press conferences.

 

[Imran Khan]

i agree he should leave these gali ke kuttaas to be tacke by public

Sometime ISPR perform the duty of ministry of interior , which is not its job. Its ministry of interior job to address local political issues, instead ISPR.

I like what he's doing. You have to understand these "opinions" are deliberate targeted attacks on the credibility of our armed forces. It's a key part of 5th generation warfare. A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. Plenty of people respond to the lies and tear them down, but the value of those responses is not the same as that of DG ISPR. He also has a massive following on twitter and his comments are RT'd and hit a huge audience. The lies are exposed by a figure of authority and the counter narrative is spread far and wide amongst the general populous. The average PDf member will probably be able to counter many of the lies, but the credibility is nothing amongst the general population, because they don't know you - they know DG ISPR.

At a time where our media is sold out, our opposition is sold out - we need leadership and he provides it.

But that leadership can be provided from a distance, he should train his directors (brigadier and colonels) and give them credible media/social media access to counter the enemy or opposing narrative. His position needs to be elevated and needs to deal with the strategic narrative. There needs to be depth in ISPR's social media presence. actually ISPR should develop[ human capital so other junior level officers can carry out media briefings. ISPR is in a unique position to carry out higher leadership level coaching seminars for their officers to develop/polish their narrative building skills. I agree that the narrative has to be countered but I guess what I'm saying that there needs to be different nodes countering the opposing narrative and not that everything is coming from one focal point
