Where does anti-Pakistan Propaganda Originate? Besides a few thousand websites run by India IT Expatriates living in the West, Pakistan’s biggest cyberspace enemy is Asia Times OnLine. It is blatant in creating anti-Pakistan propaganda. It has a simple message summarized below, which not only the site mentioned, but most Indian websites and propagandist follow. This message is picked up by the western press and then the juggernaut begins with Pakistan’s image smeared all over the globe with well thought out and concoted lies. Asia Times Online and an Ahmediyya site Chowk.com serves as a sources for most of the anti-Pakistan articles published in the Western Press (these site are under the radar of most Pakistani information ministry people and Pakistanis abroad don’t care to counter!). Western journalists due to lack of knowledge and sheer journalistic laziness or just deliberately to create mischief, rely on Asia Times stories as a reliable and authentic source of unbiased news. Indians dominate the majority of writers, with the exception of the man who writes under the name of Syed Saleem Shehzad and Ahmed Rashid, who also writes for the western press. All of these propagandist have a short and simple message:
1)Pakistan is a terrorist nation
2)Pakistan Army is talibanized and trains terrorists
3)Pakistan has nuclear weapons (this may be true, but they are trying to show as if something is wrong with having nuclear weapons. It should be clearly noted Pakistan’s nuclear ambitations were in sheer response to India’s.)
4)Therefore, U.S. and its Allies must destroy Pakistan’s Nuclear Assets and its Armed Forces.
Like the NEOCONS of the Iraq War, the aim of these Indian cyberspace pundits and Ahmediyya websites and their cohorts like the denizens of Asia Times Online and Chowk.com is to start a war between Pakistan and the U.S. and NATO. If it so happens, Pakistan is NOT Iraq, it is a nuclear-armed nation, it would obviously target India in such a scenario. India would be the hostage in such a war. So, such pundits do not realize, that if their wish came true, India with a greater population will come out the loser and the nuclear genie will come out of the bottle thus destroying the over 1 billion poorest of the poor of India, who would have no say in stopping such a holocaust! Expatriate Indians working for IT companies also freelance most likely for RAW, as part-time experts on Pakistan’s Nuclear Program. The most prolific is a Georgia based IT engineer, who spends most of his time writing anti-Pakistan articles, particularly related to Pakistan’s nuclear program. His name is Kaushik Kapisthalam. Most Westerners, are too naive to know that these people are Indians and they have a virulent hatred for the existence of Pakistan. Asia Times Online is an outlet, which publishes his articles along with many anti-Pakistan sites run by Indians (pakistanfacts.com, hindutva.org and hundreds of sites run by expatriate Indians working in IT). Asia Times calls this particular individual as “Kaushik Kapisthalam is a freelance journalist based in the United States. ” Articles with header such as: Pakistan’s forgotten al-Qaeda nuclear link By Kaushik Kapisthalam http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/FF04Df05.html Guarding Pakistan’s nuclear estate By Kaushik Kapisthalam http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/GD06Df04.html For example, Kapisthalam spread the propaganda that Pakistan is exporting terrorists. The articles are so biased and could have been written by RAW HQ. An excerpt is shown below: Pakistan’s lethal exports By Kaushik Kapisthalam From Australia to Europe to North America, a spate of arrests, trials and convictions has brought to the world’s attention the growing threat posed by jihadis from Pakistan. On June 5, the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested a pair of Pakistani-Americans from the sleepy little farming town of Lodi, California. Hamid Hayat, 23, and his father, Umer Hayat, 47, were later charged with lying to the authorities regarding their connection with jihadi training camps. But the formal FBI affidavit contained the bombshell piece of information that the training camps in question were in Pakistan, not in the notorious tribal areas, but right outside the city of Rawalpindi, which also hosts the Pakistan army headquarters. Note: This case was dismissed as the charges could not be proven. The M.H.Gohel in Britain/Hawaii is vociferously anti-Pakistan and serves as legitimate expert on Pakistan as a nation promoting terrorism. The genesis of all anti-Pakistan propaganda starts with expatriate Indians, even prestigious newspapers like the The Times of London report:quotations from M.H.Gohel in Times of London in a byline under A Pakistan Connection, by Christina Lamb:
