[Pak-Media] The psychological warfare against Pakistan

The spokespersons of present government think, or at least that is the
impression they give, that Pakistan is fighting just one war—war against
terrorism. The fact of the matter is, at current moment, Pakistan is
fighting many wars—wars even more dangerous than war against terrorism.

One such war is psychological war; so far this war has been paid very
little attention or barely talked about by the naïve rulers of Pakistan. The
entities that have launched this war against Pakistan, they intend to
destroy the spirit of the people of Pakistan. They know once they destroy
the spirit of the people, Pakistan will automatically crumble as a state.

For this purpose, they are trying to create three conditions among
Pakistanis: 1) Fear, 2) Anger, and 3) Confusion.

These entities are constantly generating events that create fear among
Pakistanis. Acts of terror such as suicide bombings, target killings, rocket
launchings, and destruction of state assets like railway lines, bridges,
schools and attacks on Pakistanis through any other means are nothing but
efforts to create fear among Pakistanis.

Fear creates ripples in the shape of insecurity, helplessness, anger,
discontent and confusion. Fearful people loose the ability to think clearly.
They do not know how to react sensibly. Under fear, they lose the ability to
make good decisions. They are forced to make bad decisions that create
further chaos and confusion.

Consequently, social fabric starts breaking, which halts various supply
lines of the society…the supply lines that keep the society intact and
functional. Food shortages make peoples' lives miserable. They run for food
and forget the other priorities. Inaccessibility of food items forces them
break their normal human life routines. They start killing each other or
committing suicides.

This chaos also affects economic activities, like halting production in
factories, raising unemployment of labor force, halting educational
activities in academic institutions, halting the transport system, and
disruption in effective supply of goods of daily needs.

The designers, the operatives, the conductors of this war cleverly put all
the components in place to produce the desired results in Pakistan.

Today we clearly see that Pakistanis are living in the state of fear, they
are angry, they are confused; the supply lines are disrupted, the factories
are shut down, the laborers are out of work, the transportation system is
broken, the government is either dysfunctional or unknowingly, under the
pressure of international agencies, making bad decision which are aimed to
make the situation worse.

Can Pakistan successfully fight back these psychological wars threatening
its very existence? It the current government continues its present
policies, definitely not.

What is the best way fight the psychological war launched against Pakistan?

The foremost step the government needs to take is to recognize the fact
that certain entities are fighting psychological war against Pakistan. The
government also needs to recognize that winning psychological war against
Pakistan is a pre-requisite to win the war against terrorism. Without
winning psychological war against Pakistan, the government cannot win the
war against terrorism.

Then, as a first step, make possible the accessibility of basic necessities
of life easier, cheaper, and in abundance. Fix the broken systems such as
electricity, gas, transportation on emergency basis. Similarly, restore the
supply lines necessary to restart Pakistan's factories, put laborers back to
work, peasants back in agricultural and students back to academic
activities. Fix these systems even if you have to divert funds from the
defense or any other important sector.

Do not accept the dictates of IMF and World Bank even if they deny you the
further delivery of funds. Without fixing these broken systems you cannot
end the fears crawling in peoples' minds—the fears created by the entities
that are fighting psychological war against Pakistan.

Pakistan will definitely win war against terrorism if it sets its
priorities right, make the right decisions, and gives up current inactivity
at government level. The survival of Pakistan depends on defeating the
entities that are waging psychological warfare against Pakistan. The key to
win this psychological warfare against Pakistan is to get rid of growing
fear, anger and confusion in the minds of Pakistanis.
