Web desk: Indian television channels have once again turned their focus towards Pakistan, this time sensationalising the Tirah Valley incident in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with fake images and false claims of a massive explosion at a bomb-making facility.
The loud coverage has raised questions: why is Indian media so deeply invested in Pakistan’s internal matters when pressing issues at home go largely ignored?
Analysts argue that this constant fixation reflects a wider pattern of propaganda aimed at distracting from domestic challenges while falsely accusing Pakistan.
Instead of responsible reporting, Indian outlets have chosen to amplify unverified stories, creating chaos rather than clarity.
