Envoy assails ‘Pakistan bashing’ by Indian media
87
HYDERABAD (Deccan): Pakistan High Commissioner to India Salman Bashir on Sunday took a swipe at Indian media, saying ‘Pakistan bashing’ had become its ‘favourite pastime’.
"Fortunately, in Pakistan this is not the case. Our media doesn’t extensively report negative about India. But, in India some of them (media channels) made a good business out of it. It certainly does not help our relationship,” Mr Bashir told reporters here while debunking reports about Pakistani infiltration in Keran sector of India-held Kashmir.
Friendship (between India and Pakistan) can only flourish if it is cultivated and nurtured in the hearts and the minds of people. So by poisoning their hearts and minds, you are killing the soil on which it is sought to be based.
“Twisted reports (by media) prove to be a big disservice not only to our friendship, peace and future of peoples but they also hold us back from friendship and realising our potential as nation states.
“True friendship comes from hearts. This is where this sort of negativity dampens it. Hope the (Indian) media doesn’t just go by sensational reporting but also try to take the essence and the spirit of good things that both countries have,” he added.
The envoy said he would endorse a proposal for setting up a Pakistani visa facilitation centre in Hyderabad.
“We need the government of India’s approval for that,” he said.
Rahnuma-e-Deccan editor-in-chief Syed Vicaruddin, who hosted lunch in honour of the high commissioner, said he would take up the issue with External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid.
Mr Vicaruddin also requested the Pakistani envoy to take steps towards introducing at least a weekly direct flight between Hyderabad and Karachi.

Good point, yes there are some channels in India, one of them main-stream, that make money by flaring up passions. Two things I would like to point out however. Such channels are equally abrasive on Indian government when it comes to criticizing. Secondly, while the way debates are conducted and news reported could be far more professional, I don't think these channels ever "mis-reported". In all fairness, there are issues with Pakistan that the latter needs to address.

But, the fundamental question is " Why this friendship required ?, Friendship occurs when interests are common" After 66 years of continuous animosity, India has come to the conclusion "There is nothing which Pakistan can offer to India ? whatever good it had, has already been destroyed. Now, it will keep on taking one thing or the other in exchange of whatever worst it has, like hardliner jihadis, theological identity, violent attitude, illitrate elites etc. etc......list is long". India, specially youth has moved on and is no more interested in all this. Only few oldies from Punjab keep on living in the distant memories of their childhood in today's Pakistan. In another 10 years or so this baggage is also going to end.

This is Indian media always trying to malign the image of Pakistan. Their anti- Pakistan stance has served to create anti- Pakistani sentiments among Indian public. Indian media, during recent border clashes have showed totally immature and biased behavior. It can be easily understandable from the recent event that when defense minister said terrorists, who were in Pakistani forces uniform have killed Indian soldiers. Media propagated by saying that they were Pakistani troops. Even media pressurized defense minister to change his statement.

There is a huge infiltration of Pakistani militants in the Keran sector. The media in India conducted a debate with three Pakistani ex-Generals and Indian ex-Servicemen. To my surprise, Pakistanis mocked at the proof presented by the anchor about the Pakistani origin of the terrorists like their id card, weapons and ammunition. Pakistan is never going to admit that it uses terrorism as a legitimate weapon against India. No proof will ever be enough! Pakistan suffers from a pathological hatred towards India which is manifested by the repeated terror attacks against India. Any dialogue with them is totally a waste of time now. We will have to give time to Pakistan to realize its own follies and how it is ruining its own interests by supporting terrorism against India. It will take time but the smart people of Pakistan will get there eventually, until then we Indians will have to wait and put forth our arguments patiently. Interestingly the ex-Generals from Pakistan on the debate admitted that Kargil war was active;ly supported by the Pakistani army and the then PM was fully ware of it. Given that, we should take Mr. Nawaz Sheriff's friendship call with a pinch of salt.

this bashir is another clone of rahman.. their ex interior minister (if i am not wrong).. i seriously doubt the entire pakistan administration know anything going on the borders at this moment... hence this crap coming out of a commissioner who has little knowledge of it.. these guys don't even have the guts to point fingers or raise questions against their army for fear of another coup... so while their pm is extending the hand of friendship, their army is engaged in another covert operation supporting the terrorists to cross the border fence..... dilemma for india.. who to trust.. friend or the foe..

@GSB:
True India is not obsessed with Pakistan but it is the other way round.
Pakistan cannot dare to make its minority citizen a head of state
