Media being Anti-national.

The recent developments between India and and Pakistan are nothing good to watch. The situation being extremely delicate, I expected a much more mature approach from the Indian media. But these news organizations value nothing over viewership not even the security of the nation.

I’m writing this piece to make it clear to the Indian media what I do and do not expect from Indian media. Firstly I do not want minute by minute coverage of what is happening at the border. I also don’t want/need to know what is the preparedness of Indian armed forces. I trust them beyond life. I don’t want you to shout on TV what should and should not be done. And for God’s sake don’t hold a debate around this by calling spokesperson from opposing parties. For once let us stand United.

I want you to respect the information about the Wing Commander in Pakistan’s custody. Don’t bother his parents or co-workers. I don’t want to know where he hails from. He is an Indian lion and that’s all that matters.

I see many media houses trying to sensationalize the whole issue and to spread hate for Pakistan. Again something I would not expect from Indian media.

Also, why the heck did you need to put out the names of Jets and bombs India used to carry out the airstikes. I honestly don’t know how that piece of information will help me in my life. I could have done without all that information but you sure made things a lot more easier for the other side.

The only thing I want you show at the moment is the official press briefings, nothing more. Call back all those reporters from border areas, I don’t need “pal pal ki jankaari”. This nation stands first and national media has to respect this.
