The media has never condemned the enemies of our country, the religious monsters who commit these dreadful deeds.
ISLAMABAD: It is alarming that in all the hundreds of reports of terrorist attacks that have appeared on the electronic media to date, not once have the anchorpersons spoken against the perpetrators, who commit such atrocities. They are very quick to talk of security lapses and blame the government on all sorts of grounds, but never have I heard them condemn the enemies of our country, the religious monsters who commit these dreadful deeds.
Even to the extent that when they show the bodies of innocent people who have been cruelly slaughtered or talk to the unfortunate victims lying in hospital because of the terrorist attacks, they seem to be critical of the government rather than the murderers. Somebody please tell me what is wrong with our attitude?
