OPINION: ‘BBC showed Chechyna as J&K’

I totally disagree with western channels like the BBC and Al Jazeera as they have an agenda. The BBC has done it earlier, too, when they showed footage of tanks rolling in from Chechnya and describing it as Kashmir. The government should allow the western media to operate and then discredit their false reports once and for all. There is counter-reporting happening and this is a chance to expose the western media. The New York Times is reporting on India sitting in the US. What is its credibility?
