Hard States, Soft Signals
Ali K. Chishti put it bluntly: hard states don’t explain internal politics on foreign TV; they exert policies.
History agrees.
The United States does not debate its prison population on Al Jazeera. France does not justify counter-terror laws on Sky News. India does not invite foreign anchors to adjudicate its courts.
When a state begins doing so, it signals uncertainty about its own legitimacy.
Pakistan should not fall into that trap.
