Time to be
nationalistic
When
war, or at any rate hostility is imminent the media turns nationalistic. On the
Indian side both reporters and columnists are dishing out the government
rationale for every move. In Pakistan advice is being given. Dawn was advising
Pakistan to opt for international monitors along the Line of Control so that
they can "report impartially on the truth or otherwise of infiltration." And on
PTV World participants in a discussion were urging their government to file a
case against India in an international tribunal for the killings in Gujarat,
post Godhra.
