لبرلز اور کچھ صحافیوں کا شکوہ ہے کہ پی ٹی آئی کے آفیشل اکاؤنٹس اور ترجمان (مثلآ مشوانی) جب ان کی خبروں کی تردید کرتے ہیں تو پارٹی کے سپوٹرز ان کو برا بھلا کہتے ہیں، جس سے ثابت ہوتا ہے کہ پارٹی کی پالیسی ہے صحافیوں کو گالیاں دلوانا۔

اس لاجک کے مطابق، ان لوگوں کی غلط خبروں سے..
..ان لبرلز اور صحافیوں کے سپوٹرز حکومت اور فوج کو گالیاں دیتے ہیں اس کی زمے داری کس پر آتی ہے؟
اس سے ثابت نہیں ہوتا کہ ان لوگوں کی پالیسی ہے پروپیگنڈا کرنا اور عوام میں اضطراب کی کیفیت پیدا کر کے ان کو فوج اور حکومت کے مخالف کرنے کی ذمے داری کس پر آتی ہے؟
اگست 2018 کے بعد ایسا کون سا مہینا گزرا ہے جس میں ان لوگوں نے حکومت کو اگلے ماہ گھر بھجوانے جیسی جھوٹی خبریں نا پھیلائی ہوں؟

بزدار آج گیا کل گیا جیسی خبریں نا چلائی ہوں؟
فوج خان سے تنگ آ گئی ہے اور اب ان ہاؤس یا نیشنل حکومت جیسی جھوٹی خبریں نا چلائی ہوں؟
کیا آزادی رائے صرف کچھ لوگوں یا ایک مخصوص گروہ کے پاس ہے؟

جو کچھ یہ لوگ آزادی رائے کے نام پر کرتے ہیں کیا وہ صحافت ہے؟ اب حکومت کے عہدیداران اور پارٹی کے اکاؤنٹس کا ان کی خبروں اور پروپیگنڈا کا جواب بھی آزادی رائے کے خلاف ہے؟

All across Gujarat, in all major cities and in several towns, Muslims are deliberately forced into ghettos through a law called the Gujarat Disturbed Areas Act.

The law requires citizens in particular parts of cities to seek permission from the government before.. Image

The historian Ian Buruma argued that Daughter of the East had been written to ‘enchant Western readers’.

In it Benazir Bhutto described her life in a way that played to Western perceptions of the East and resonated with Western mythic traditions: hers was the story..

..of a vulnerable young woman overcoming archaic tradition & deep prejudice,surviving years of hardship and exile to avenge her father’s death at the hands of a wicked, all-powerful man.

Buruma wrote that Benazir had a double life: the Larkana Bhutto and the Radcliffe Bhutto.

In 1971, total strength of Indian troops around East Pak was about 400K + more thn100k Mukti Bahini

In East Pak, Army had 34K west Pakistani troops + 11K CAF & civilian police

If we include Pak naval & PAF detachments & all those in uniform & entitled to free rations.. Image
2/
..e.g HQ, MLA, depots, training inst, workshops, factories, nurses&lady doctors,non-combatants like barbers, cooks, shoemakers & sweepers,even thn the total comes to 55K & not 93K as widely propagated, repeated, virtually unchallenged,in practically every form of publications.
3/
Another point that remained unchallenged is the correct date of the Indian attack on East Pak.

India actually launched a full scale attack on East Pak with full force alongwith Mukti Bahini on the night of 20/21 Nov-1971 & not on 3 Dec-71, thus making it "a 4-week war"..
