Pakistani journalist Syed Wiqas Shah’ who is associated with the ‘Khyber News’ is learned to be on the reporting assignment from war-torn Afghanistan. Interestingly, this journalist has an altogether different version of accounts of the country when compared with the experience of Afghan people in current prevailing conditions.

Many reports have emerged from the international press that the Taliban ‘massacred dozens of civilians in revenge killings’, reports also emerged that the terror outfit is going door to door searching for people who worked with the former Afghan government or western countries.

However, Shah ignoring the most visible cruelty faced by Afghani civilians -- is focussing on pampering the Taliban regime governance.

Pakistani journalist Shah on August 25, tweeted that the owner of the famous ice cream shop in Charikar city of Parwan province did not come to his shop for 6 years because the extortionist/ occupier mafia used to threaten him but from Saturday ( 21 August) he began to sit in the shop.

“The famous Sherikh (ice cream) shop in Charikar city of Parwan province where people from Kabul and other provinces come to eat Sherikh.

The owner said that he did not come to his shop for 6 years because the extortionist/occupier mafia used to threaten him and throw grenades at his house. Now Saturday has begun to sit in the shop #Kabul,” he tweeted in Urdu.

Netizens in reply to this interview pointed out many interesting anecdotes which reflect the journalist’s bias towards the Taliban, here’s how users replied to this interview:

• Only Gul Khan can be affected by Pakistani propaganda. The army knows that we have failed miserably in front of the world, so we have hired such so-called journalists to cover up our failures. They were against the policies and will continue to be so.
• These journalists should also be asked who granted them visas, when and how. See also the words "Taliban officials" The official is derived from "military personnel".
• Afghanistan's news anchor is going abroad from Afghanistan to seek annihilation, And Pakistani media cannot go to their Balochistan, and Waziristan to report, And Afghanistan will wow what a media graph Ignorant is a thousand times better than such media people
• My soul is so good Urdu, not mine, I am Pakistani. Where did this Afghan learn Urdu from and he is also so good ... ??? Show us that academy too
• If the students have spent their whole lives in the mountains .. then how can this servant speak Urdu with such fluency .. there is nothing black in the dal but a lot of black 
• After the occupation of Afghanistan by Afghan students, Afghan journalists are leaving Afghanistan for safety and Pakistani journalists are going to Afghanistan without any visa for positive reporting (state propaganda) without any danger
  
  
  

The Taliban, which is controlled and guided by the Pakistani deep state, is an open secret acknowledged by both Taliban and Pakistani leaders in public. So, the disturbance in the region proposes a greater threat to India, as the Taliban would act as a force multiplier for Pakistan and the ISI would no doubt use its leverage with the Taliban to launch terrorist attacks across the country.

Now, the Pakistani state is reportedly using propaganda to present the clean image of the Taliban, the organization which is accused of humongous crimes not against individual caste or class but against humanity. The role of Pakistani journalists at such distress times has been called by the country’s intelligentsia. Marvi Sirmed, a political commentator and human rights professor says, What most Pakistani journalists are doing is not journalism. It is something else.
