Monitoring Desk: “Pakistan has won the diplomatic and media war, leaving no room for India to sell its false narrative”.
This was observed by experts in a GNN Television show, “Frontline Focus with Unzila Irfan”.
Ambassador Nagmana Hashmi, Abdul Hameed, Imran Yaqub, Brig (retd) Babar Alludin and Shazia Anwer Cheema explained their respective spheres and highlighted that jingoism on Indian media exposed Pahalgam False Flag while mature response of Pakistani media placed Pakistan’s stance at international media scene with professionalism and responsibility while the role of Information Ministry, Foreign Ministry and ISPR was highly professional and that won the narrative war against India.
Participant believed that there was a flawless synchronization among media, civil and military leadership and diplomats and all of them fought Pakistan’s case in befitting manner and briefing of Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and DG ISPR Lt. Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry played a pivotal role to exposed Indian false narrative at international level while interaction of diplomats with international media such as Pakistan’s Ambassador in Russia Khalid Jamali added extra to tell the world that enough is enough and Pakistan would no more accept Indian jingoism and would respond with full force using all available options.
Experts were of the view that Pakistan’s response after India’s false flag drama in Pehlagam has been very calculated, apt, firm, and well thought out both internally and externally. While we have not panicked or provocative, both civil and military leadership have played their cards well, a rare occasion in our history, the Indians have fallen into their own trap. The world at large has not sided with India, while domestic fishers have put Modi on the back foot. Our keeping the media, diplomats, and UN informed about our stance based on ground realities has paid off. “Our credible military deterrence has kept the enemy guessing about our possible response, resultantly in creating a false drama. The Indian leadership is in doldrums. What to do? All said and done, Pakistan has played its diplomatic cards well”, commented Brig (retd) Babar Alludin.
