Lately, anti-Army content based on fabricated facts and incidents, unfounded allegations have been incessantly surfacing over the SMN. Stakeholders/participants including journalists, sub-nationalist and social media groups owned by political parties have adopted a strategy of vicious, false and misleading war propaganda to create an illusion of invincibility amongst the minds of people.
The sensational used of SMN by prominent journalists and activists such as Nasir Jibran, Gulalai Ismail, Matiullah Jan, Azaz Syed, Marvi Sirmed, Mohsin Dawar and Manzoor Pashteen etc to carry out smear campaign against the Pak and its, Armed Forces is a manifestation of their nefarious intent to hurt and disrupt the image of Pak and its Armed Forces in the regional and international arena.
It is imperative to mention that the claim that journalists and activists are using the garb of freedom of speech to spread ill will and malign the security establishment of our country on the behest of the enemies is not based on a patriots’ delusional rants. Rather, the recurring involvement of said journalists and activists in blatant anti-state activities established ties with the enemies of the state and the inability to say or do anything positive for Pakistan regardless of their influence and well-known presence in media circles have given solid grounds to critics to question where their loyalties lie.
India is using social media as the major battlefield as part of a Rs 7 billion media campaign exploiting all available platforms to paint our security forces and police in a bad light. Incentives and financial benefits are being given to Pakistan’s prominent social activists, ethno nationalists, human rights activists and politicians to promote India’s agenda as our public is predisposed to believe who we perceive as “one of our own”. Indian operated 350K+ “Bot” profiles on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter under Pakistani names (mostly Baloch and Pashtun surnames) follow and share any anti-Pakistan news that is posted online.
Indian radio stations broadcasting their transmissions in Pakistan’s local languages target gullible and isolated public through manipulative statements by senior RAW officials to incite hatred for our Army. The Indian TV channel “Zee Salam” broadcasted in Urdu and US-based “VOA Pakistan” both serve the same purpose. As was the case with the fall of Dhaka, such propaganda, if not countered effectively, can have disastrous outcomes. It is only through the due diligence of our armed forces and intelligence agencies and the strong faith of our countrymen in their protectors that enemy backed fake movements such as the Baloch Liberation Army were exposed for their anti-state false narrative.
Our enemies have shared 1000’s of fake photos/videos of Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sindh and FATA that paint Pakistan Army in a bad light, systematically manipulating Pakistan’s social media with clever misinformation about alleged Army atrocities against minorities and ethnic groups. Propagandists fan the fire in a bid to malign Pakistan’s image in front of the international community but only a few Pakistanis have actively realized and tried to expose the enemy agenda.
Not only is our army constantly fighting insurgency and enemy advances on our borders, but it is also now faced with an even more sinister and well-organized threat in the form of 5th generation warfare via media. Unless we as citizens of this country do not step up and call out the propagandists hiding behind freedom of speech to malign our army, we will have failed our security forces. After all, Pakistan is a free country for the past 71 years despite constant threats because of the constant vigilance and sacrifice of our Army. Freedom has never come for free, and we have already asked for the blood and tears of our soldiers and officers many times before. It is now time to repay their sacrifice, shutdown anti-state voices and stand behind our brave men so that they continue to protect us with renewed zeal.
