Pak scribes appeal to end 'language of hate'

May 24, 2012 23:21

Urging journalists in India and Pakistan to end their use of the "language of hate", a media delegation today said that frequent interactions between people from both the countries would reduce animosity and boost bilateral ties. "If people keep meeting, it will help us to know about each other in a more better way.

If you don't meet then some wrong message is spread by the third person. People to people contact is better than that at the upper level," said Nagma Iqtidar, a freelance journalist who is part of the media delegation on visit to Mumbai from Karachi and Hyderabad (Sindh) in Pakistan. "We are the biggest victim of terrorism.

One of our tall leaders Benazir Bhutto became the victim of it. We want you to support us. If democracy is strengthened in Pakistan it will ultimately benefit India," said another scribe during an interactive session at the Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh. Asked on attitude of Pakistan towards India of late, Tahir Hasan Khan, President of the Karachi Press Club, said it has changed manifolds.
