According to reports on Tuesday, the Indian media has increased its coverage of the banned Joint Awami Action Committee (JAAC) after its movement failed to gain public support in Azad Kashmir.
According to the details, the committee’s movement was rejected by the local population and some Indian media outlets have started promoting its narrative.
After the group failed to receive public support, Indian media began broadcasting reports containing what are being described as false and misleading claims in favour of the committee, as per the reports.
According to the report, some Indian television channels used footage from Rawalakot and aired it with headlines such as “PoK NOT PART OF PAKISTAN” and slogans against state institutions.
The report further informs that the footage was presented in a misleading way to support a particular narrative.
The report says that despite the committee’s lack of public support, some Indian media outlets have continued broadcasting reports aimed at influencing public opinion.
It also claims that India did not achieve the expected results from its alleged support for the banned committee and that this has led to increased media attention on the issue.
The report further alleges that Republic TV aired what it describes as false and fabricated claims about Azad Kashmir.
According to the report, such media coverage is intended to create confusion and provoke public sentiments. It also disturbs the peaceful environment in Azad Kashmir.
Key leaders continue to quit banned JAAC
According to the details, the people in Azad Kashmir did not support the committee’s narrative, and several individuals have announced they have left the banned committee.
Recently, JAAC key member Khawaja Anees announced that he is parting ways with the organisation.
He said that the movement, which began in the name of public rights, has crossed its limits by targeting the state and its institutions. He said that any statement against Pakistan or state institutions is unacceptable. “I appeal to the youth of Kashmir to stay away from this banned committee, and I clearly announce my separation from this anti-state Joint Action Committee,” he added.
Recent media coverage has raised questions about the committee’s alleged links and support, the report adds. According to the report, the purpose of the alleged campaign is to influence public opinion and promote a specific narrative.
