Srinagar: Indian media’s coverage of occupied Jammu and Kashmir since August 2019 has been overtly partisan and misleading, focusing on spreading fabricated stories and falsehoods about the situation in the territory.
A report released by Kashmir Media Service reveals that Indian media outlets, aligned with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), have distorted the truth about Kashmiris’ struggle for self-determination.
This biased narrative aims to deflect attention from human rights abuses committed by Indian troops in IIOJK and misrepresent the reality on the ground.
The report raises concerns about Indian media’s war-mongering and hateful rhetoric, which aligns with the Modi regime’s oppressive agenda in Kashmir.
The report criticizes Indian journalists and TV anchors for echoing the government’s scripted narrative on Kashmir, resulting in a severe lapse in journalistic integrity.
The biased coverage of Kashmir by Indian media has serious implications for truth and journalism, perpetuating misinformation and false narratives, fueling tensions and hatred against Kashmiris.
The international community must take notice of this dangerous trend and hold Indian media accountable for their complicity in the Modi regime’s propaganda machine.
