I HAVE been watching both Indian and Pakistani news channels and I am really impressed by Pakistani media, which has adopted a neutral and peace-loving approach. But Indian media still would not stop its war-mongering and jingoistic approach. They keep twisting and lying about the facts as if media’s only duty is to incite hatred among their people. Does the Indian media,know about its ethics and obligations? It looks like India’s media persons are puppets of their army and government.

I feel proud of Pakistani media, which has been providing accurate information to its nation and the world. It also shows that in Pakistan freedom of the media is in practice whereas in India media is still shackled in the chains of slavery!
