Border issue
M M Haque Jeddah, K.S.A
I am not at all surprised to see the media's role on border issues these days. Preference of news is well understood. Killing by BSF on almost regular basis, looting, and violating the boundary have become a normal phenomenon. Putting permanent infrastructure inside our territory often gets obstructed by the BSF; our people live in fear across the borders. All seems normal or a matter of no concern to a greater part of the media. While I am against inciting hostility against India, but to give our sovereignty or self respect a call in our mind we should build awareness so that we make our position clear and stand on a sound and strong footing to negotiate our points. Our nature, water, trade, borders, if all go to them, then what will remain for us?? Had the media's power been used to serve the national interest, our position could have been different.
