The objective of today's propaganda against Pakistan is to create doubts among general public. This is what is happening with us as a nation, international reports and media are presenting concocted stories in such a way that a section of political leaders, own media and people believe that the working of the government is in a state of disarray and change is imminent.
In our geo-political situation and the existing threatening scenario from the terrorists change is not the answer. The situation can be handled by transformation of the system. Democratic institutions are not established in a short time. They go through all odds and then learn from experiences. Pointing the finger to the weaknesses is a part of healthy criticism but practical solutions are necessary too. Building up pressure to make the leadership realise its strengths and weaknesses and finding out options to overcome the problems is a sign of growing maturity.
We as a nation should not fall prey to enemy propaganda tactics and instead of having self-serving opinions toe the line of others. We all know the hidden or unveiled truths. We should learn to be optimistic and be strong enough to fight against war of minds.
Mistrust, confusions, doubts and allegations are like a beaver, which goes on playing its part of weakening the foundations leading to collective collapse. Propagandists focus on the sensitivities of the people. They choose institutions, which are respected and have the capacity to deliver the best. Creating doubts about them is to shatter the confidence and lower the morale. Today, our best defence is that all of us need to shield our minds from negative influences of propaganda.
