ISLAMABAD, (APP): Dr Azhar Jadoon,member National
Assembly Standing Committee on Information,Broadcasting and National
Heritage on Friday called for enhanced Pakistani media role in
highlighting Kashmir issue.
Talking to APP here,the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf MNA Dr Azhar
Jadoon said that the role of media on Kashmir issue can be enhanced
through objective,effective and up to date Kashmir policy.He said
that ” Kashmir policy is run on ad hoc basis.”
“The ordinary citizens have no idea about our foreign policy
nor its objectives”, he said.He said that Kashmir needed focus and
attention on political front as it is not given proper attention.
Azhar Jadoon thought that the role of Parliament on Kashmir
was not very satisfactory due to the fact that it has remained one
of the less debated matters in the Parliament.
Strongly condemning the Indian army for genocide of the
Kashmir masses,he urged the international community to play its due
role in stopping gross human rights violations at the hands of
Indian occupation forces.
To a question, he said that the term national media was not
relevant for Pakistan there are two types of media in Paksitan,one
run by the government and other governed by the Pakistan Electronic
Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA). He was of the opinion that both
kinds of media follow the guidelines of the establishment.
About the issues of his constituency NA-17 Abbotabad-I ,Dr
Azhar said that no funds were being provided to him as MNA for
resolution of these problems. About health and education issues in
his constituency he said that despite constraint of financial
resources the Khyber Pakhtunkhaw government was taking steps in this
regard
