Kumar Vishwas Urges Media to Act Responsibly Amid Indo-Pak Tensions

In a charged atmosphere of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, poet Kumar Vishwas made an earnest plea to Indian media outlets, urging them to desist from broadcasting 'unauthenticated' and 'unverified' information. His appeal was directed not only at media houses but also at citizens, emphasizing the need for unity and collective responsibility during these trying times.

Kumar Vishwas, in a video message, praised the courage of the Indian Army, lauding their decisive actions against terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. He implored broadcasters to consider the potential impact of their coverage on national unity and to stick to verified news. Recalling India's reaction post the 2016 surgical strikes, Vishwas highlighted the importance of unwavering support for the armed forces and trust in official government communications.

Amid these heightened tensions, Vishwas stressed that content creators should avoid posting unauthorized information for social media gains, citing the potential for exploitation by adversarial forces. He reiterated the necessity of adhering to government directives and civic responsibilities, urging solidarity across all societal divides. Meanwhile, the Indian Army reported successful defensive operations against recent Pakistani incursions, under Operation Sindoor, reinforcing India's stance at the Line of Control.
