PSYCHED by TV anchor Goswami’s disclosures about Modi’s sinister designs on Pakistan, Indian media too begun to behave like ‘his master’s voice’, if correctly called, is now suffering from an Islamabad phobia, showing scant respect for journalistic ethics and its norms. Minus a few, a couple, a couple to be more accurate and precise, it has been whipping a campaign which can only be categorised as hostile, revile and vituperative in nature.
Tune any of the over 200 Indian TV channels, pick up and major or minor newspapers, and there is nothing but abuses for Pakistan.
Arnab Goswami, considered BJP’s mouthpiece, somehow either by mistake, or trapped by someone more intelligent or wiser than him, released his video in which he predicted Pulwama attack and also false flag operation against Pakistan. A resulting storm from what he said was natural, but the Indian media, instead of showing maturity, seems to have gone berserk in its hate-campaign against the government, and the military in Pakistan.
The campaign is not only devoid of logic but is totally meaningless.
What the Indian journalists, TV anchors refuse to see or notice is that their own government needed to be guided. The madness could not escape world notice for long, and now an international forum like the UN Committee of Human Rights, or the eminent magazines like The Economist and Foreign Policy has begun to highlight Indian atrocities in Held Kashmir, now annexed forcibly and made part of the State called Indian Union.
The buck did not stop there. Several MPS in the lower House of British Parliament known as House of Commons, raised their voices against the mounting repression in Occupied Kashmir, demanding the government of Prime Minister Boris Johnson to take up the issue with his Indian counterpart.
Instead of drawing a clue from the anti-India campaign, the Indian magazine ‘The Chronicle’, became hysterical and has been attacking the widely acknowledged and circulated magazines of bringing India into disrepute. Even the voice of Sanity from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, belonging to Nehru dynasty, was called abusive. However, some saner elements in NDTV (New Delhi Television) advised the BJO and RSS parties to desist from being harsh on its Muslim and other minorities. But Ghulam Nabi Azad, Salman Khursheed’s suggestions for sanity was rejected with disdain too.
The Indian media instead started attacking Imran Khan, General Qamar Bajwa, and Lt-Gen, Faiz Hamid for misguiding their country’s youth to be terrorists. Nothing could be farther from the truth. This is sheer propaganda, which is assuming a new dimension with every passing Day, Really Unfortunate.
The entire story circles around the Disonfo Lab whose content shook the European Union because it pointed a straight accusing finger at Narender Modi and his government contempt towards Pakistan, and its repression In occupied Kashmir, An Indian television interviewed federal minister, Fawad Chaudhry, accusing him of delivering a speech in the National Assembly, which the Indian TV anchor called ‘warmongering. Fawad Chaudhury, who before becoming the science and technology minister, held the Information ministry portfolio, was stunned by the accusation.
He asked the TV host, interviewing him from Delhi to have some sense and behave like an educated man. He also accused the army chief of threatening India any adventure by the Indians will be given a befitting response. This is not war-mongering, replied Fawad Chaudhury. This is warning India to be cautious in their ambition to launch an aggression on Pakistan, which Modi has often spoken of. India must desist from any false flag operation, otherwise, it will learn lessons again like the one given to it on February 27 in 2019 when its aggression was effectively dealt with.
