INDIA (HRNW): Severe criticism has emerged regarding the role of the Indian media following an alleged false-flag incident attributed to Pahalgam. Various reports and analyses claim that Indian media outlets, rather than adhering to professional journalism, have actively pushed a state-driven narrative and fueled a pro-war environment.
According to reports, Indian television channels broadcasted continuous aggressive and unverified claims following the incident, significantly escalating regional tensions. Some anchors are being accused of fanning war hysteria in their programs and issuing provocative statements against Pakistan. Critiques highlight that Indian media leveled allegations against Pakistan without providing any concrete evidence, attempting to sway public opinion through inflammatory rhetoric—a move critics describe as a blatant violation of journalistic ethics.
Furthermore, it has been noted that certain defense analysts and retired military officers adopted hardline stances during TV talk shows, further intensifying the friction. Experts warn that such conduct poses a serious threat to regional peace and stability. Analysts suggest that this situation has raised fundamental questions about the credibility and impartiality of the Indian media, creating a dangerous atmosphere that risks further escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors rather than facilitating de-escalation.
