Indian media new target for Radio Pakistan

Abohar, Feb.4 : While Indian television channels are protesting
against the proposed restrictions that the Government of India intends
to impose on them following the live coverage of the Mumbai terror
attacks on Taj, Oberoi and the Nariman house last November, the
Punjabi Durbar programme of Pakistan radio still finds the Indian
channels 'puppets' of the Government.


The fact is that the Indian channels have been telecasting the truth
and this has hurt the Pakistan establishment. People in Pakistan were
able to view the coverage by Indian channels, which exposed the role
played by persons based in Pakistan in the terror attacks.

Radio Pakistan has been trying to hurt the credibility of Indian
television channels. But journalists in Punjab are not impressed.

Kanti Bhardwaj, a senior journalist in Abohar, says: "Electronic and
print media of India don't show or publish false news but the Pakistan
authority hides the activities that are being carried out by the
terrorists based in their own country,"

"Pakistani media works under pressure of Pakistan's government. They
only publish news given by the government ; any other news item is not
published there. Indian media is the fourth pillar of India. People
believe on it. India's media is appreciated all across the world,"
Kanti Bhardwaj added.

Pakistan Radio should remember that the Indian print media
organizations are about 150 years old. Today, many of the media
organizations of the country have associations with international
media groups.

News coverages by Indian media organizations have found acceptance
across the world because of its unbiased, responsible and measured
news coverage.

There have been several instances where news items mentioned in
newspapers or television have been quoted in the Parliament of India.

It is rather Pakistani media, which is found struggling to establish
its fairness in the world.
