Journalist Gharidah Farooqi shuts down criticism from journalists present in Islamabad during peace talks.
She said, “Despite intense media pressure, the information environment was skillfully managed so that the negotiators could focus solely on sensitive and important matters. Information was released only through official sources, and rumors were curbed”, adding that “these are peace talks, not a game of headlines.”

شدید میڈیا دباؤ کے باوجود انفارمیشن ماحول کو مہارت سے سنبھالا گیا تاکہ مذاکرات کار صرف حساس اور اہم معاملات پر مرکوز رہیں۔ معلومات صرف سرکاری ذرائع سے جاری ہوئیں اور افواہوں کو روکا گیا۔
یہ امن کے مذاکرات ہیں،…
She hits back by saying, “The only two mentioned ‘journalists’ who were ‘bored out of mind’ and had ‘nothing to do” (at an event which is a top priority of the entire world) were so lazy at work they didn’t even mention their names. “
“Better read such funny pieces only for fun, not to take them seriously. Should’ve been titled: Buffets Baristas and Bickering of two unnamed Buffoons”, Gharidah Farooqi said.

Sheer lack of understanding in this news piece of a negotiation process…
Earlier, France24 reported: “I’m bored out of my mind,” one journalist told AFP, declining to be named. Another one said: “There’s not much to do here.”
