ISLAMABAD – Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Hussain Chaudhry said that the government is making efforts to transform Pakistan from a security state into an open country, the Radio Pakistan reported.
While addressing a workshop on Media Technology in Islamabad on Wednesday, the minister said that in the modern era, propaganda has become the primary tool of warfare while kinetic warfare has assumed secondary importance.
He said that strong ideas and excellent ways of their presentation are prerequisites to the success of hybrid warfare.
He said in modern times wars are fought in media, rather than the battlefront.
The Minister said due to its strong narrative, Pakistan succeeded to convince the world that the Indian government has used the Pulwama incident for winning the election.
He said it was due to the successful media policy of the Pakistani government that India has got isolated on the issue of Pulwama.
Fawad Chaudhry said reforms are underway in the Information Ministry to make it a tool for promotion of the state, rather than a political party.
He said the government is also making efforts to bring international media back to Pakistan.
