Amidst the heightened tension between India and Pakistan, peace-mongers on Indian side of the border are leaving no stone unturned in order to save their favorite country from the wrath of Indian forces. Since the news of Wing Commander Abhinandan being in Pakistan custody has surface, the peace monger has become hyper active. They are using Abhinandan to spread their selfish agendas.
This has lead to Pakistani army officers and Pakistani political parties using point of these peace-mongers in order to peddle their nefarious agenda. Pakistani establishment is trying their level best to put the entire blame of the ongoing tensions on Indian government and authorities. An example of this can be seen in PTI’s latest tweet where they have quoted controversial Indian journalist Barkha Dutt’s tweet to curse PM Narendra Modi. From it’s official Pakistan’s ruling political party PTI tweeted, “We hope you understand that you were manipulated into war mongering. #LetBetterSensePrevail; isolate the ppl who r desperate to win an election. War is in no nation’s interest,& its soldiers & civilians who are the collateral damage. Don’t let one man use it for political mileage.”

Barkha Dutt this time retorted strongly and advised Pakistan to mind their own business. She tweeted, “Highly inappropriate, unacceptable and inflammatory for an official party handle to be tweeting this. India speaks in one strong voice against terrorism. Our domestic politics and debate are our business and no one else’s. Please focus on your own matters. Thank you.”

By the way Barkha Dutt has huge fan following in Pakistan. The 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks mastermind had showered praises at her. Hafiz Saeed had said, “…Wahan par(in India) acche log bhi maujood hai, Barkha Dutt jaise achi baatein karne waale bhi maujood hai…(In India good journalists like Barkha Dutt are also present and there are many who make sense)”
Just few days back, Arnab Goswami slammed Barkha Dutt without taking her name. At an event, Arnab said, “It is very important to be a right-winger on many issues. I have said today, I am the first in the media who has said that I am happy to be identified on several issues as a right winger. Because, if it is right wing to be nationalistic then there is a pride in being a right-winger; if it is right wing to stand for the integrity of this country and say that Kashmir is, was and remains a part of India then there is a certain confidence with which I say I’m a right winger, it’s better than being sold out on the Nira Radia tapes and being followed up with a compliment by Hafiz Saeed. I mean, if you get complimented by Hafiz Saeed, you should quit the profession and leave the country, if you have any shame.”
And then there are some journalists who are apparently batting from Pakistan’s side and acting as its unofficial spokesperson.
“You violated Pakistan’s sovereign airspace… and expect Pakistan not to retaliate” – Guess who said it on Rajdeep Sardesai show?
Right, Janaab Sardesai. https://t.co/L0owh1omNI

Some even cheered for anti-India Pakistan PM Imran Khan.
Excellent, statesmanlike speech from @ImranKhanPTI https://t.co/YAGREHftmn

Pakistan is also now quoting official statement of the 21 opposition parties to spread their anti-India agenda.

Pakistan even quoted the disgusting statement of BS Yeddyurappa.
Air Force excursions, war mongering, soldiers in captivity and the lives of so many people in danger all equate to 22 seats in the eyes of representatives on India’s ruling party. Is war an election option?#SayNoToWar https://t.co/BdiqiJcdVP

Pakistan is exploiting every stupid statement made by influential personalities in India. It is leaving no stone unturned to peddle its anti-India propaganda. People like Barkha Dutt need to understand the influential power they hold and that in a sensitive situation such as this, the country must show a united front and not give any cause or opportunity to Pakistan to use India’s statements against India itself. It’s highly advisable that people should use their words wisely on social media.
