The relentless coverage has come under severe criticism from Nepali
citizens and on World Press Freedom Day, the hashtag
#GoHomeIndianMedia was a top trend, a pointed criticism their
"insensitive" reporting.

So far, there have been more than 70,000 tweets [reportedly it has
crossed a lakh by now] under this hashtag and the people of Nepal have
taken to twitter by the thousands to grumble about the coverage of an
earthquake that has left Nepal in ruins and has displaced thousands.

Accusing the Indian media of using the devastating earthquake as a
publicity platform for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Nepali youth
used Twitter and Facebook to vent their anger and frustration,
demanding the Indian journalists leave Nepal as soon as possible.
While they have thanked India for their aid and help over the past few
days, it's clear that the Indian media have not won any brownie points
among locals.

Apart from being insensitive, the Indian media have been accused of
fabricating stories, conducting insensitive interviews of earthquake
survivors and broadcasting 'dramatic soap opera TV serials-like' news
coverage.

Here are some of the tweets:
