Developments surrounding the Pahalgam incident have drawn attention to the role of Indian media, with growing criticism over its coverage and narrative.
Following the incident, sections of the Indian media were seen promoting unverified claims and attributing responsibility without evidence, raising concerns about the spread of misinformation.
Media coverage also included heightened rhetoric, with some commentators calling for aggressive actions and presenting routine government activities as major developments. Analysts noted that such narratives, coupled with heightened tensions, have contributed to international concerns about responsible reporting, particularly in a sensitive regional environment.
