Pakistan’s use of social media outsmarts Indian propaganda on Kashmir

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s use of social media, smart diplomatic initiatives and protest gatherings from government and civil society to highlight Kashmir conflict amid recent events of Indian aggression has launched a successful quest to negate Indian propaganda on the issue.

Kashmir issue, being the longest conflict in South Asia, has recently gained well deserved global recognition with Pakistan’s victory on diplomatic front as a special meeting of United Nation Security Council (UNSC) had been called on Kashmir along with successful protest gatherings outside every Indian embassy across the world including London and Brussels.

After recent misadventure of Indian Government of revoking the constitutional provisions that give Indian occupied Kashmir special rights, social media users from Pakistan especially government officials including Prime minister Imran Khan took it to the twitter to condemn Indian atrocities and to show immense support to Kashmiris.

Prime Minister has not stopped talking about the issue on his personal twitter account along with calling various world leaders including Iranian President and Indonesian Prime Minister to seek their support on the dispute.

Director General ISPR has also been updating the world about military's stance on the disputed territory through official twitter account.

Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has also visited China earlier this week to apprise the Chinese leadership about Pakistan’s stance on Kashmir.

He also wrote a letter to the UNSC president, asking to convene an emergency meeting of the council to discuss India’s “illegal actions” that also “violate UN resolutions on Kashmir”.

United Nations Security Council (UNSC) held a consultative meeting on Friday to discuss Kashmir issue as Pakistan urged the world body to implement its own resolutions on this 70-year-old dispute.

The meeting had been called by China on Pakistan’s request to discuss the prevailing situation in Indian occupied Kashmir.

In the closed door meeting, briefings were given on the situation in the region.

In a media briefing following the conclusion of the meeting, Pakistan's Ambassador to United Nations Maleeha Lodhi said that the meeting had been called within 72 hours after Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi had written a letter requesting the same. She said that the very fact this meeting had taken place was "testimony to the fact that this is an internationally recognized dispute".

Pakistan also observed Indian Independence Day (Aug 15) as black day to give the world a message about actions of Indian government’s Nazi-like regime.

The solidarity movement with Kashmir was augmented with an effective social media campaign on hashtags such as #KashmirBanegaPakistan and #15AugustBlackDay.

Various other hashtags like #RedForKashmir, #BleedForKashmir, #StandWithKashmir and #ModiKillingKashmiris #KashmirUnderThreat have also been trending on top on different social media sites.

People from around the world were expressing their unflinching support despite complete communication clampdown in the occupied region.

There is no denying that India has been put on the backfoot.

Surprised to see alot of US papers and publications highlighting Kashmir genocide and exposing Hindutva brigade. Prob due to improvement in relations with U.S. I'm sharing all I can.

People aren't too surprised at genocide in Kashmir as they're already aware of mass rapes and lynchings in around ganges.

Credit really goes to PM and the Army for bring these issues to the international forms but with an extra twist, if you know what I mean [emoji12]...thank God that chite wala nawaz is not in the office...

India is not behaving like they are on back foot at diplomatic /political fronts.
Have you heard their diplomat in UN?
Have you heard their defense minister?

yea that gay was swinging like he needed to go to the bathroom...I couldnt pay attention

Have you heard their diplomat in UN?

Then he says they adhere to Shimla accords...

He had absolutely no idea what the accords were coz if they adhered to it, their unilateral stand should be considered null!

Have you heard their defense minister?

That one is not really worth listening to

There is a difference between pretending and the reality. India can pretend all day long. The genie is now out of the bottle. The world is largely opposed to Indian draconian measures against Kashmiri people. I am sure you read the international media too. Indian facist face has been exposed quite badly.

Yes, he was swinging, it could be because he was under pressure etc. but he conducted himself well, Indian couldn't have found better person to confront the situation!
he was a diplomat, his job was to relay state policy in best possible words.
He used Shimla accord reference to show that Kashmir has been previously accepted as bilateral issue.

His words were saying india follows Shimla accord...which nullifies what they did in Kashmir recently...Not sure how that is a win for india

And accepting a bilateral agreement while doing unilateral damage is not a diplomatic stand but that of a hypocrite that is trying to play you!

With the amount gangus bombarding sc media outlets such as quora, yahoo, facebook, youtube, twitter etc. I take this with a pinch of salt.

India has better spread it's venom through social media.

But Pakistan has better quality content and truth put out by it's social media users.

But don't you see the fundamental contradiction in Indian claims? Kashmir cannot both be India's 'internal matter' and a 'bilateral issue' at the same time. The Indians have truly taken a step back from their previous position.

I agree this is not really a 'victory' for Pakistan but neither is it for India.

The problem is - and this is where I agree with the doom mongerers - that bilateral is not actually good enough for Pakistan. If we are to keep up the diplomatic front, it needs to be made at least a trilateral issue between China, Pakistan and India.
