It is unfortunate that text messages are being generated against the Pakistan Army and the State of Pakistan. The youth using mobile phones as fashion, knowingly or unknowingly, send or forward these messages to others.
This demoralises the nation and spreads despondency among the youth. No nation in the world does so what we are doing with our armed forces, totally out of emotionalism. Failures are part of the game.
Similar rather bigger failures were confronted by CIA, RAW, Mossad and KGB.
CIA failed to have prior information about the Pearl Harbour attack; it failed to save Americans from 9/11, 2001 attacks; it gave false information of Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, it is not playing so well its cards and its agents get exposed out of rudeness and stupidities. RAW failed in Mumbai attack.
KGB failed in Afghanistan. But they didn’t spread hatred against their forces. But we are demoralising and weakening our own defence forces. It is my humble appeal to the nation and particularly the youth to please do not forget the blood of our martyrs that they laid their lives happily for Pakistan.
Our forces are our pride. May Allah bring peace in our lives and help us being courageous enough to face these challenges!
