Kashmir and images

Published February 9, 2020

IT is laudable that the Pakistani people express solidarity with the Kashmiri people on Feb 5 and even otherwise.

However, I am left wondering whether it is necessary to expose the people, including children, to posters containing graphic images of violence, and that too without their consent.

On my way to the office, it is difficult to avoid these posters on all the main roads of Islamabad, containing images showing blood.

If there is an authority that approves content of such posters, it should revisit its approval criteria on graphic images.
