Dawn News Reporter – Pakistan Military’s support for militants
Dawn News recently aired a very bold show discussing the Pakistan army’s support for militants. It examined the historical ties with groups such as Jaish-e-Muhammad, Jundullah and the Taliban and whether these ties still exist. Of special note is the fact that one of studio guests (former interior minister and defence secretary) Lt. Gen. Hamid Nawaz left the studio after the airing of the initial investigative report. Also worth noting are the comments of retired AVM Shahzad Chaudhry and the comments of the various Pakistanis interviewed by the show regarding their perception of the Pakistan army’s support for militants. This is an extremely unusual and bold show and one must respect Dawn for airing it.

پاکستانی عوام کے ٹیکس پر پلنا ،اور ان لوگوں کا ساتھ دینا جو بےقصور لوگوں کو مار رہے ہیں ،جو فوجیوں کو شہید کر رہے ہیں .کیا یہ ملک سے وفا داری ہے یا غدّاری ؟
ایک ہی فوج سے تعلق رکھنے والے پر ایک دوسرے کو بلواسطہ قتل کر رہے ہیں
اصل غدار کون ہے ؟
Excelent program. We need more of this kind of bold journalism in Pakistan. Will the Geo TV and ARY etc follow this difficult path?
“Will the Geo TV follow this difficult path”
ha ha good one Abdul. randee bhee kabhii apnay gaahaq kay khilaf bolay gee?
Good one. Keep it up..!!
Weldone DAWN. I don’t think that Geo is able to raise voice against their sponsors. Agreed with Humayun 🙂
The are very few anchors who do not present Talibans and Terrorist as Heroes this is one of them ,Most of the Media is ISIzed .
I don’t think anyone in Pakistan would support militancy. If army supported militancy in Pakistan then why would they conduct an operation to end it? I can’t join the dots.
