(Thread) Terrorists have a new media outlet.

There is a strange nexus. Will talk abt it in last four tweets.

During their peak days, terrorists inside Pak didn't need any kind of assistance to project their actions. AQ had As-Sahab Media network, TTP had "Umar Media". -1/10

Their media networks worked within our cities, spreading footage of their actions, speeches, statements through CDs, DVDs &later on through internet. Mainstream media of Pak also played a very casual role in this regard and gave them all what they wanted - "Live coverage" - 2/10

Post APS, mainstream media not only blocked their projection but also overall national attitude changed towards these animals. Which greatly helped in defeating their menace, uprooting their networks and eliminating their sanctuaries. PICSS reported that Pak has witnessed-3/10

a drop in such activities so significant that it can safely be termed as the lowest in 2019. picss.net/anti-state-vio…

It also helped in finding out their sleeping cells through IBOs, where civilians helped LEAs and pointed out towards their hiding places and safe houses. -4/10

The narrative of Pak being a terrorist hub & weak state has been replaced by the narrative of Pak being the destination for tourists. UN Gen Sec @antonioguterres
also pointed out towards this. @UN

But terrorism can only be nurtured only if they find a good media outlet- 5/10

Now a direct support to highlight their actions isnt an option inside Pak. So a strange nexus has emerged.

Instead of highlighting Pak's efforts against terrorism, an action against Pakistan interests is now projected under the guise of "criticism" & "free speech" - 6/10

Where the "critique" is highlighting the fact that Pak is "still" a hub of terrorism. Where they have nothing else to sell but to project acts of "terrorism" through tactics of reverse psychology, where they remain "non-violent" but project "terrorists" smartly enough - 7/10

Interestingly enough, these critiques were once highlighting Pak as an exporter of terrorism, now instead of pointing out towards terrorist sanctuaries inside Afghanistan &questioning their presence there, they are still holding the same old narrative, which even the world - 8/10

has rejected.

So can some analyse this nexus of terrorists and their "pseudo opponents"? Can we see explore a pattern here?

Many others also fall prey to the narrative building exercise, the actions of terrorists complement the actions of these "critiques". -9/10

This nexus needs to be exposed but with objective analysis & data driven approach. Many proofs are available on open source domains.

Time to uproot, eliminate & end these supporters of terrorists as well - 10/10
