Geo resurrects patriotism
Medias programmes building up to and on Defence Day this year has been phenomenal. Almost all channels gave extensive and informative coverage of the history of the 1965 war.
Veterans who are still living were interviewed; achievements of others were posthumously discussed; unsung heroes were given credit for sacrifices that helped to protect the sovereignty of our Motherland.
It was good to see that efforts were made to engage the younger generation like animated content to allow them to revisit this era.
From what I saw Geo News was at the top of its game by showing great content.

In short, the whole media was abuzz with the memories of this great time and actually made an effort to promote a feeling of patriotism which over the years has been fizzling out.
