Nobody in the defence gives a rats a** to what BBC or CNN or anybody thinks about then. Are there issues ? yes we are short of some squadrons of planes. Our shortage of IAF squadrons is mitigated with the high availability of them and their readiness unlike Pakis. The only thing we need to be worried right now is if both chinks and pakis do a two front attack. We will be stretched. If Tejas comes in to play then we can deal them quite easily. In history there is no such thing as the last word on any subject research leads to new things every day | ||

https://www.opindia.com/2019/03/bbc-propaganda-after-balakot -airstrike-selectively-includes-pro-pakistan-leaves-out-pro- india-interview/ BBC propaganda: Handpicks anti-India views in its recent Kashmir segment, deliberately leaves out pro-India interview The conduct of the BBC in the past does not speak in favour of them. The extremely shoddy 'research' they published on the basis of which they claimed that Nationalism was the driving force behind the rise of Fake News was one such instance. They later had to backtrack and admit that such a claim could not be made on the basis of their sorry excuse for research. The clouds of war have been gathering in the Indian subcontinent ever since the Indian Air Force conducted airstrikes within the Pakistani territory in response to the Pulwama Terror Attack. Ever since the terror attack at Pulwama, where over 40 CRPF soldiers lost their lives, a response had been expected from India against Pakistani backed terrorists. Pakistan responded to the Indian airstrikes on terrorist camps by attempting to attack military installations in India. In the process, they lost an F16 jet, the best aircraft in their arsenal, to an ancient MiG-21. There have been reports that at least one of the Pakistani pilots was lynched to death by their civilians who assumed him to be an Indian. Consistent with their national tradition of not acknowledging the death of its soldiers, Pakistan has not yet confirmed the death of its pilot. It hasnât even acknowledged that they used F16 jets against India, in violation of their agreement with the USA. - Advertisement - - Article resumes - Since Pakistan attempted to attack Indian military installations, the Armed Forces have asserted that they see Wing Commander Abhinandanâs return, the pilot of the MiG-21 that brought down the F16 jet, merely in accordance with the Geneva conventions and not as a âpeace gestureâ as claimed by the Pakistani establishment. What BBC aired in their Kashmir segment On this whole series of developments, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) planned to air the opinions of people who live near the Line of Control. As our readers would be aware, the BBC, along with much of Western media, is notorious for covering up the sexual exploitation of little children, sometimes as young as 11 years old, by Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs. They also gained infamy due to the garbage âFake Newsâ research they published which OpIndia.com debunked comprehensively. Recently, the BBC aired a segment on the Indo-Pak tensions where they shared opinions of Kashmiris on the show. The opinions of only two people were aired, conspicuously however, they shared the same opinion of the Indian state. In the initial stages of the segment on Kashmir, the channel did mention the religious overtones to the dispute. However, the two people whose opinions were shared both appear to belong to the same religious community. The first person, whose identity is not mentioned, claims that the two countries have made Kashmir their âplaygroundâ and that in the process, âKashmiris are being killed, women are being harassedâ. He also calls the tensions âfakeâ right after saying that Pakistanis had called the airstrikes âfakeâ. The second person called himself Dara Shaukat from Hundwara and said that he wanted to âhighlight the common perception of Kashmirisâ. He said that India retaliated as ârevengeâ and that it wasnât the solution to the conflict. He also claimed that the common perception of Kashmiris is that the tensions are just a âModi stunt, not even a war-like situationâ and there is nothing much to worry. He also says that India and Pakistan should stop their âjingoismâ. Why did the BBC leave her views out and stick only to the âotherâ narrative on Kashmir It was conspicuous that the BBC shared the opinions of only two people and that too, which promoted the same anti-India, anti-Modi narrative. Now, we have knowledge that BBC did speak to a Hindu pro-India pro-Modi woman from the state but chose not to air her opinions. The BBC first spoke to her on Twitter, then on two separate occasions on phone. On each of those occasions, they spoke to her for a considerable amount of time, speaking in detail about her opinions on the entire matter. Dr Monika Langeh is a resident of Jammu who has relatives in Rajouri district, near the LoC. Her opinions were in stark contrast to the ones aired on the channel. She firmly believed that Pakistan sponsors terrorists against India and had made it clear that if they donât take action against the terrorists in their soil, then she should prefer war. In the audio clips of her conversation with BBC journalists, she spoke very favourably of the Army and the Indian state, in stark contrast to the opinions of the ones aired in the show. She also did not equate India with Pakistan and was unequivocal in her assertion that Pakistan was the one creating trouble in the region. Langeh, who is a doctor by profession, also spoke at length about separatists in Kashmir who toe the Pakistani line. She also elaborates that compared to the entire state of Jammu and Kashmir, the actual area where terrorism is an issue is very small. She says that Ladakh, which accounts for almost 60% of the entire state, does not have a terrorism problem. Similarly, Jammu, which occupies nearly 26% of the area, doesnât face a terrorism issue as such either. The menace of terrorism is limited to a very minor area even within the Kashmir region, she said. As our readers can see, Langehâs opinions were starkly different from the ones aired in the show. Her opinions could have been used to show how Kashmir is an extremely polarized issue that attracts very contrasting opinions from India citizens. However, the BBC chose not to and aired the same anti-India opinions in two different voices, which comes across as merely peddling a certain narrative as part of a bigger agenda. The BBC journalist, in fact, also inquires about Langehâs religious background, saying that information about her religious beliefs is necessary for them to air her views. After she informs the BBC of her religious beliefs, her opinions are not aired. The conduct of the BBC in the past does not speak in favour of them. The extremely shoddy âresearchâ they published on the basis of which they claimed that Nationalism was the driving force behind the rise of Fake News was one such instance. They later had to backtrack and admit that such a claim could not be made on the basis of their sorry excuse for research. Under such circumstances, it appears they chose to not air pro-India pro-Modi opinions because those opinions contradicted the pre-decided narrative they wanted to peddle. That they chose not to air a personâs opinions after being informed that she is a Hindu speaks volumes for its bias. It has been known for a while that Western mainstream media is the biggest purveyor of propaganda and their recent segment on Kashmir is further evidence of that effect. | ||

https://www.opindia.com/2019/03/the-new-york-times-peddles-a nti-india-narrative-with-half-truths-and-whole-lies/ The New York Times peddles anti-India narrative with half-truths and whole lies The western media, like the New York Times, which has a 'holier-than-thou' attitude with respect to its reportage, has often displayed its prejudice against India and Hindus in the past. Last week, the Indian Air Force carried out successful ânon-military pre-emptive strikesâ on Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorist camp deep inside Pakistan to dismantle the terror apparatus that had inflicted the suicide attack in Pulwama killing more than 40 brave security personnel of the country. Following the airstrikes, Pakistan had attempted to attack Indian military establishments before Indian airforce intercepted to thwart their attacks. With its strike package comprising of various aircraft, Indian airforce was successful in pushing back Pakistani jets and during the air fight, one MiG-21 Bison was hit after it had shot down a more lethal Pakistanâs F-16. However, the Pakistani military establishment, as usual, continued to live in denial about the airstrikes at Balakot and subsequent shooting down of F-16, in which at least one Pakistani airforce pilot was killed. With its propaganda machinery both within the country through its ISPR and globally through a number of âpliableâ journalists, it somehow managed to get some short term traction in the media space, where it tried to project that there were no losses for the Pakistani military. Some Indian journalists with questionable integrity also fell for this Pakistani propaganda and went on to question the Indian government and armed forces regarding the authenticity of counter-terror operations. - Advertisement - - Article resumes - Similarly, the New York Times, which often comes up with Islamist narratives, has been selective about facts while reporting Indiaâs airstrikes inside Pakistan and subsequent air fights between the two air force. In an article titled, âAfter India Loses Dogfight to Pakistan, Questions Arise About Its âVintageâ Militaryâ, the writer Maria Abi-Habib has carefully omitted some facts and indulged in pushing a false narrative that projects Indian Armed Forces in a poor light. Interestingly, Congress leader MP Gaurav Gogoi has also played his part in pushing a narrative that portrays Indiaâs Armed forces as âvintageâ. In the article, the writer starts with the claiming that downing of the âageingâ MiG-21 Bison by the Pakistani airforce indicated that Indian armed forces are in âalarming shapeâ. However, the writer deliberately reports half-truths in her article, leaving out the fact that a Pakistani aircraft F-16 was also shot down in the action by the very same ageing MiG-21 Bison. She constructs her whole argument on the premise of this one-sided reportage to depict Indian armed forces as âvintageâ. She has also quoted Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi, who has stated that Indian troops lack modern equipment. The writer, who seems to have a complicated relationship with facts, has ignored accounts of eyewitnesses who had seen two parachutes ejecting from Pakistanâs F-16 aircraft. As MiG-21 is a single seater aircraft, while F-16 has a two-seater variant and in all probability, three pilots ejecting from two fighter aircraft meant that Pakistanâs F-16 was also shot down. The writer does not account these facts in her reportage but manages to create a false narrative of only MiG-21 were damaged. She also somehow manages to connect the loss of one MiG-21 Bison belonging to the Indian Airforce, which is already scheduled to be phased out, to judge the military capability of Indian Armed Forces. According to Vishnu Som, Defence Editor of NDTV, the writer has also ignored a detailed post written by a London based lawyer Khalid Umar on the death of a Pak Wing Commander in the conflict. Umar has said that Pakistan Air Force Wing Commander Shahaz-Ud-Din, the F-16 pilot, who was shot down in the air-combat over the Nowshera sector, was lynched by a mob who mistook him for an Indian airman. Umarâs account says that Shahaz-Ud-Din parachuted out of his aircraft safely, but was then attacked by a mob after the F-16 crash-landed possibly in the Laam valley. Nevertheless, the Pakistani military is yet to acknowledge the death of its own soldier. Maria Abi-Habib has also deliberately ignored that Pakistani Armed Forces flip-flop over its statements regarding the number of Indian pilots that they had captured. Initially, Pakistan military spokesperson had said that two Indian pilots had been captured. Later, when it realised that it had only captured one Indian pilot while the other pilot is one of their own, who was allegedly beaten up brutally by its own people. The New York Times reporter has shown no eagerness to state facts in her reportage rather she has just cherry-picked the facts which suited her bias against the Indian armed forces. The prejudiced reporting against the Indian Armed Forces by some of the American based media may also come from the embarrassment that they faced after a four-decade-old Soviet-made MiG-21s shot down a relatively modern US-made fourth generation F-16. The writer has herself declared that the updated MiG-21 Bison were inferior to the Pakistani F-16, which were mostly used by other Airforces in the past before gifting it to the Pakistan Air Force. The western media, like the New York Times, which has a âholier-than-thouâ attitude with respect to its reportage, has often displayed its prejudice against India and Hindus in the past. With its incomplete, flawed and heavily biased reports, the New York Times has often tried to discredit the Indian government led by Narendra Modi. Recently, it had caused a huge controversy after it had peddled a fake narrative on âviolent cow protectionâ based on the data of self-proclaimed defenders of human rights, Human Rights Watch. In the past, too, NYTimes has exploited childrenâs deaths to malign Yogi Governmentâs crackdown on illegal slaughterhouses in Uttar Pradesh. In an op-ed about India that was centred around the CBI raids at the residences of Prannoy Roy and Radhika Roy, the founder promoters of NDTV, the NYT also had tried to take the similar path. The editorial was titled âIndiaâs Battered Free Pressâ which read like a textbook case of how it has been distorting the truth. NYTimesâ former Delhi bureau chief Ellen Barry had also indulged in white-washing the 2002 Godhra carnage where as many as 59 people were burnt alive in a train. She had also spread lies to insult the victims of Godhra carnage in her report on the Gulbarg Society verdict. NYTimes also encourages troll-like behaviour while reporting on democratically elected public representatives by attempting to trivialise the personal lives of female politicians. |
