Dr. Inayatullah of the News On Pakistan’s Confederation With India!!!

FAULT LINES EXPOSED!!!

 

The shaded passages in the text make the following statements:

 

·         The state is an abstract entity which mongers war while the people seek peace

 

·         For making peace across the borders, people are willing to take the risk of annoying the state

 

Implied messages to the reader

 

·         Pakistani State is bad; it is imposed

 

·         People should be independent of it.

 

Disinformation to manipulate public opinion

 

People-to-people dialogue is the peoples’ idea independent of the two states

 

Fact

 

The idea of people-to-people dialogue originated at the Indian government level and later sold to a lunatic fringe (secularists) in Pakistan. For instance, read the following:

 

“The prospects of Indo-Pak Trade were…dependent on the development of the most vital of all relations people-to-people contact. The Prime Minister [Narasimaha Rao] said it is not just trade but also the totality of economic, political, cultural cooperation that we have to look at.” (Source: Hindustan Times: April 08, 1996)
