Hate agenda being spread through Pakistani channels

Meanwhile, Pakistan has used Minister Vijay Shah's statement as a tool to spread propaganda. Pakistan's state channel PTV has presented this statement as evidence of the alleged hatred towards Muslims in India.

Pakistani channels have started using Vijay Shah's statement as a propaganda and apart from PTV, many Pakistani media outlets including Geo News, The Daily Jang have published news on this statement and tried to tarnish India's image among the Muslim community in the world.

 

PTV's propaganda

PTV said in its prime time program aired late on Wednesday night, "Senior Hindu BJP leader Vijay Shah has put a loyal Muslim woman officer in the category of terrorists. In Modi's India, hatred towards Muslims has increased to such an extent that now even senior army officials and women are not safe."

 

PTV, Geo News and Jang TV alleged that Muslims in India were being pushed out of the mainstream and now even those serving in institutions like the military were being viewed with suspicion.

 

Pakistan is trying to project India as an 'anti-minority nation' using the Colonel Sofia case as an excuse. Not just Pakistani TV channels, but Pakistani social media handles have also intensified the hate agenda and propaganda against India on this issue.

 

What do the experts say?

Regarding the propaganda being run by Pakistan against India, experts believe that this statement is no longer limited to just a controversial statement, but Pakistan is trying to make it a part of an international campaign against India's religious harmony and democratic image.

 

Political and diplomatic experts believe that this statement of the MP minister has given an opportunity to Pakistan and other enemy forces to attack India.

However, the Madhya Pradesh High Court has taken suo motu cognizance and registered an FIR against Minister Vijay Shah. But, neither the BJP nor the Madhya Pradesh government has taken any concrete action against him.
