Islamabad: Pakistani media gave extensive coverage to the Indian Air Force’s (IAF) pre-dawn operation to destroy a Jaish-e-Mohammed terror camp in the country and most of them stuck to the official line that the Indian fighter jets entered the Pakistani territory by 3 to 4-km without doing any damage.
All major Pakistani TV channels, including the state-run PTV, Geo, Dawn, Express, SAMAA, ARY broadcast throughout the day that Indian jets violated the Line of Control in early hours of Tuesday, but did not talk much about India’s claim of having destroyed JeM camps in the Balakot valley. There was no other news in the Pakistani media since 11 am on Tuesday except the “Indian aggression”.
Interestingly, the Pakistani media picked up the official line that the Indian planes entered the Pakistani territory by 3 to 4-km and no damage was done. All the channels gave live coverage to the National Assembly session where leaders of the main opposition parties – PMLN and PPP – talked of unity in the face of “Indian aggression”.
