After being fully exposed internationally for its naked fascism in occupied Jammu and Kashmir and towards minorities inside India particularly in Manipur, the Modi regime has stooped too low to use its ‘Godi’ media to spread propaganda against Kashmir Media Service.
According to Kashmir Media Service, at the behest of the BJP government, an Indian television channel, News 18, in its recent pack of lies, which it gave the name of a report, waged propaganda against a well-reputed, credible and authentic news agency Kashmir Media Service for the only reason that the KMS has on every occasion exposed India for its anti-Pakistan conspiracies, be it Disinfo Lab or G20 huddle in Srinagar under the euphemism of tourism promotion.
What India under Modi could not stomach is the back-to-back failure of its efforts to make the G20 meeting in Srinagar a success thanks to projection of the disputed status of Jammu and Kashmir and also the worst record of India’s human rights by Kashmir Media Service in the occupied territory.
Besides, the way the KMS covered the naked parade of Christian women by Hindu majority tribe in Manipur and revealed the true fascist face of BJP rule-India before the international community has unnerved the Modi regime and its paid media like New 18.
It is worth mentioning here that News 18 had been fined Rs 50,000 in October 2022 for its fake news coverage.
On the other hand, Kashmir Media Service has been projecting Indian brutalities on innocent people of IIOJK and is highlighting human rights violations by Indian troops in the occupied territory.
Kashmir Media Service publishes reports on the basis of facts and figures, but the Indian media has, off and on, waged venomous propaganda against KMS.
On 6 September 2021, on the custodial killing of Syed Ali Gilani, the then Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kashmir, Vijay Kumar, in his news conference raised hue and cry against Kashmir Media Service for unveiling Indian government’s secret burial of Syed Ali Gilani that created ripples in IIOJK.
On 31 December 2022, Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Vijay Kumar in his press conference had termed KMS and its ‘Telegram’ channel as ‘online terrorist’.
In June 2021, the Indian government and its media had also criticized KMS’s international webinar in which more than 10 UK MPs participated on the topic ‘The Resolution of Kashmir Dispute, Challenges and Response’.
To counter KMS, India authorities in IIOJK launched a website SKIMS — Kashmir Independent Media Service (www.kimskashmir.com). It’s a replica of KMS.
Indian authorities also launched J&K Counter Disinformation Centre (JKCDC) (https://twitter.com/JKCDC_) to tackle KMS data.—KMS
