Pakistan has said it has no desire to control what is reported during news broadcasts in the country, but simply wants to make it clear that its airwaves are no place for badmouthing Saudi Arabia. Journalists have had questions for the Saudis after scores of Pakistanis were killed last month during a stampede near Mecca. Islamabad said that the news is for keeping people informed and educated, not wasting their time with reports of untimely deaths that occur in allies’ countries. And, with Mecca being a holy place, like all holy places it is never the site of unfortunate occurrences, just like Jerusalem, Wounded Knee, and Lambeau Field.
