Hardly anyone knew that Asad Toor was even a journalist before the alleged attack at his house by the ISI. The ISI has denied any involvement and proper investigations are being made. However, several analytical questions come in my mind. I am writing this blog entry mainly as a mixture of facts and opinions without any characterization or particular order. Its primarily an entry based on my stream of consciousness.
Asad Toor gets beaten up by men who came to his house informing themselves as ISI. His vlogs have State hating agenda so he gets questioned or threatened and in the process gets scratches on his arm? Firstly, anyone who had a beef with him could have planned and executed this attack this way. Secondly by the amount of support that international embassies and news outlets while dissipating from the Palestine and Kashmir issue gave Toor unnecessary coverage. It is highly suspicious.
Pakistanis were enjoying news about our new-found economic stability,Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s successful UN visit and getting the resolution passed to investigate the Pharoah in the making, Netanyahu. Another amazing news was about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s achievement about hosting the upcoming World Environment Day. So basically, whenever positive news comes, the negative made-up one is right around the corner. It takes up the attention from the positive. Such is the power of the 5th Generation warfare which Pakistan is constantly a target of.
Is the Mossad more actively working in Pakistan now since we are one of the front runners backing Palestine whole-heartedly? It’s even easier to come and recruit guised as a tourist and thus our agencies particularly have to work even harder and their morale had to be put down. RAW has failed miserably and India has so much going on to invest in billions to destabilize us yet again, so another enemy had to intervene. The US will not be allowed to open its headquarters to police Afghanistan after its withdrawal of troops. Having been a Hollywood buff, I have seen in their shows how CIA takes revenge against agencies who do not favour them.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is a leader who is battling enemies front, right, centre and at the back. His uncompromising stance for the betterment of the country keeps on instigating the Green-eyed monster in all of our hidden and known enemies. He wants peace throughout the world as he is a philanthropist through and through. However most leaders of the world are involved with wars.
Gone are the times when the citizens of the country were in the state of stoic resignation. The previous corrupt politicians Bhutto, Nawaz, Benazir and Zardari easily sold themselves. Military dictators Zia and Musharraf involved us in other countries’ wars. We are in debt and this whole nonsense of Usury of IMF that has been imposed on us because of the war and previous corrupt governments has made us weak. As the cloud of debt slowly dissipates, we will have major progress in the country. Despite what the envious countries might say or do, Pakistan who is a promoter of peace will go forward. Sure we have fanatics, but which country doesn’t have them. Pakistan will and should not ever become bullied by friends or foes!
The pathetic PDM and Hamid Mir and other lifafa journalists are blatantly giving threats to the Armed Forces and their institutions. Hamid Mir should be given a place in the archive of Ripley’s Believe it or Not. He was the first journalist to allege that he was attacked by the Establishment and yet appears to be the most favoured journalist by the Army. Hamid Mir's gunshot wound on the stomach was publicly showcased on his shirt. Since our media channels love sensationalism filled news, the narrative became successful. Toor’s scratches on the arm became quite visible in photo-ops by using the bandage on the whole arm. Two days later the bandage was gone when he was hosting the so-called Maulana and uncle and niece. Its so predictable to see all the like-minded Pakistan’s progress hating politicians and journalists come together.
Social Media did not support the Armed forces and the ISI like it should have. Perhaps the enemy’s agenda has successfully planted the seed of contention. Either the Establishment least bothers about this issue or they work on the keep your friends close and your enemy closer formula. Will our agencies continue to ignore Hamid Mir’s threats against the Army and name calls? Will they continue to give this triple agent Mir benefit of the doubt? Are they going to continue setting the precedent that you can say anything against the country and its institutions and still you are not a traitor. We as citizens want Hamid Mir to be arrested, but the Establishment probably believes that in doing so, his narrative will get more coverage. This is a whole ‘damn if you do and damn if you don’t’ issue.
Conclusion in my belief is this that the ISI and establishment has the authority to question any and everyone who they believe is a threat to the country’s sovereignty. Anyone who has the potential to damage the reputation of the country should be countered. How the foreign press instead of covering the injustices in their own countries and especially in Kashmir and Palestine, makes Toor a contender a victim is quite mind-boggling. He and all his friends should be termed of being anti-State. He must really be playing with people with deep pockets. In the 5th Generation warfare, even the pin-drop silence is heard. Using ISI as a prop by these anti-establishment journalists need to end. Our unsung heroes have given enough sacrifices and are considered one of the best in the world. These so-called Pakistani journalists who probably get themselves abducted and cry wolf either do so to get international fame or asylum in foreign countries. No country should criticize another country over ‘alleged’ attacks unless proper investigations are made. Is he a member of the foreign press? Where were they when journalists were killed by affluential people and corrupt Sindh government? What is the criteria to be a credible journalist. Is the one who ‘barks’ the loudest against our institutions worth protecting and others not? Will Hamid Mir be treated as the prodigal son yet again? He is the one who downright insulted the Armed Forces and yet there has been no apprehension. A software update is required.
