| Pak children mistake Army motto for Al Qaeda one | |
| 2008-10-31 | |
Young minds Sir: Recently, on a children’s TV channel, I was watching a quiz programme. In one of the stages, the anchor provides answers to the contestants, who then have to guess the question. In this particular episode, the host said: “This stands for iman, taqwa and jihad fi sabilillah.” The students thought hard, and then one of them responded: “What is Al Qaeda’s motto?” The host was shocked. He replied, “I will never ask you about Al Qaeda on this show.” Another student tried his luck: “What is the Pakistan Muslim League’s motto?” This is how our schoolchildren respond to the Pakistan Army’s motto. We need a desperate image overhaul to say the least. SAIF REHMAN Lahore | |
