please concentrate on ADHM at the moment

Pakistani artists being targeted , the reason has been stated by me earlier which is they being silent on terrorism in India

I get the source of these emotions, but these are not practical solutions to terror. It's just diverting attention from the issue at hand. I can understand ordinary people's emotions, but why are news channels encouraging this?

The funny thing is that we don't have international support against Pak-sponsored terrorism.
Indus Water Treaty- Suspending that will earn us a lot of international flak and they can conveniently paint us out to be the bad guy. Let's see if this happens though, since it's a decision that affects not only Pakistanis but Indians too.

Coming to Arnab Goswami, don't get me started on him. His brand of journalism is the worst thing to happen to news networks. Other channels are also trying to ape him.

He is supposed to conduct a debate between panelists, not shout them down and polarise the debate. He wants to be the final jury of the debate instead of letting the audience decide based on which side of the debate appeals to them.

It's not about whether he is wrong or right about an issue. It's his blanket 'my way or the highway' approach that is dangerous. There will come a day when his opinion turns out to be rooted in fiction and that day, people would have learned that they supported something wrong just because Mr. Goswami was saying it.

we have been boycotting the wrong things which is not helping . You tell me boycotting a petty movie is important or revoking sindhu water treaty .

news channels just care about ratings... such situations get them a lot of viewership... i dont know how viewers dont step away and think its too much...

When these people( including forum members) do selective boycott/outrage then it raises valid questions behind the motive .

let the flak be earned , if we are serious then it should be through that and not by boycotting ADHM. It would send a message to whole world . Russia , israel , france , UK are supporting us unequivocally

Yes, that's how tough decisions are made, but there are concerns like the flooding of Kashmir and Punjab on the Water Ministry's mind too.

When was Sultan boycotted? But I am sure it would be boycotted from now onwards on TV as an Indian singer was replaced by a Pakistani one in it.
