ISI U-turn

without comments

The following was quoted on Dawn:

Since we had nothing to hide, we thought there was no harm in calling the Indian bluff by agreeing to the request to send the ISI chief to Delhi…

The latest however is that ISI chief is no longer travelling to India. Does that mean that Pakistan suddenly found something to hide.

Now, the Pakistan media wants the world to believe that like in the past India is just blaming them when instead the operations are carried out by India (hindu) terrorists. Well, it is fooling itself more than anyone else.

During the last round of attacks: Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Surat, I was in a way happy as I thought the terrorists have crossed the limit and India will awaken to their threats. However, sadly, that wasn’t the case and we had to witness these horrible three days.

Only hope that we are not waiting for more limits to be crossed and come up with a definitive action against the guilty whether Indian origin or Pakistani. One terrorist has been caught alive and he will help us in the probe, Inshaallah.

NDTV has joined the crowd

with 5 comments

NDTV was always better than the rest of the news media, until recently, but now as a part of commercialization perhaps, has joined the crowd. I can recall atleast two instances today while watching the Mumbai attacks coverage, where I really cursed NDTV and switched to Times Now.

They were showing the scenes of rescuees coming out of Oberoi and the media people trying desperately to get a word out of them. Immediately, the correspondent communicates by the phone and says “we tried to chase down the rescued people (a tone of confidence), however they were not willing to talk us (a tone of complaining) …”

Then they carried out a statement by an army chief in which he refused to give the count of casualties in the army, for obvious reasons of maintaining the morale. However, this channel reports “NSG casualty count unestimable…”

Similar thing had happened on Times Now, but the news anchor ArnabĀ  politely advised restrain to the correspondent and the camera man. Times Now, today is the most responsible news channel (still they could improve) among the lot. I never ever switched to Aaj Tak or India TV who are glorifying the terrorist by carrying out his interview.
