Promoting jihadis has hurt Pak
by S.Ramaswamy on Apr 26, 2006 07:33 AM   Permalink

It is a late realiston in Pakistan.It is also doubtful whether it is a stray voice.As a matter of fact even if is a stray voice in as much as it is by a leading news
paper,it is an indication that atleast a section of the Pakistan media has reservation about line pursued by he nation and its leadership
The admission by the news paper in the face of the official line and in the face of the militants still said to be acive and intimidating people expressing opinion opposed to their jihadi line,itself is surprising but welcome
That this freedom is available to a section of the media inspite of a dictator being at the helm as against the period when a democratically elected government,under the influence of the ulehmas would not have permitted it by itself is a welcome change
