TV news villains & ‘Love Jihad’ in Kashmir | TV Newsance Episode 138
Move on from Bollywood films, pyaar ke dushman are now found on primetime debates in TV news studios.
This week, the bogey of #LoveJihad reached #Kashmir. The story of a Sikh woman from Srinagar made major headlines. It was alleged that she was kidnapped at gunpoint and forced to marry a 60-year-old Muslim man.
Anchors like #AmishDevgan, #ArnabGoswami & those from #ZeeNews played up this story but didn’t get the basics right. We were told minorities are a threat to the majority in India, and alleged forced #conversions to #Islam were the flavour of the week.
But what is the true story of #ManmeetKaur and #ShahidBhat, other Sikh women in #Srinagar whose names cropped up this week? What role did #ManjinderSinghSirsa play? Watch.
