Where traditional Indian media is going haywire on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s successful maiden trip to United Nations General Assembly, and his vehement campaign against BJP-led Narendra Modi’s government at the world’s prestigious forum, a section of Indian media is praising Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The sensationalism in Indian media has surged to the point where they disparaged PM Khan’s act of counting the prayer bead in the joint presser with President Donald Trump. A published article described the frantic effort of PM Khan to ward off an impression as the leader of the Islamic world in the aftermath of the Kashmir move by the Narendra Modi government.

Indian Media Praise

Nevertheless, India’s popular news outlet India Today recently published an article on PM Khan’s austerity drive and his low-key visit to the USA and the preceding visit to Saudi Arabia. While PM Khan was mocked and berated by Indian Twitter users for boarding a commercial flight to Saudi Arabia, and that Pakistan cannot afford a special aircraft for its premiere, the published article, however, argued that even Indian politicians should emulate PM Khan’s austerity measures.

Prime Minister Imran Khan is immensely capitalizing on the opportunity to apprise the world with massive human rights violations in Indian Occupied Kashmir.

The article noted that PM Khan’s austerity measures intended to pull down the pressure on the country’s resources as Pakistan is dwindling with the severe economic crisis, India politicians should mull over reducing their cost of living since Indian economy is also undergoing a crisis.

“Imran Khan had told his cabinet earlier this year that he would lead by example to make his austerity drive effective,” said the article.

“His austerity drive might be emulated by politicians in India, which too is facing some serious economic issues. The economic growth rate is slowing down, unemployment is at a record high, prices in retail markets are soaring, and massive job loss is staring in many sectors of the economy,” commented the article on the Indian economy.

The resolution also calls for an intervention of the party at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC),” it read.

Robust stance on Islamophobia

Moreover, Prime Minister Imran Khan’s bold and clear stance on Islamophobia and hate sentiments against Muslims is earning him praise.

The prime minister attended a high-level, round table discussion on ‘Countering Hate Speech‘ co-hosted by Pakistan and Turkey, according to a media report.

“Misperceptions which bring people together against Muslims would be corrected; the issue of blasphemy would be properly contextualized; series and films would be produced on Muslim history to educate/inform our people and the world; Muslims would be given a dedicated media presence,” he said.

In his address to the United Nations meeting on Control of Hate Speech, PM Khan unnerved challenged the perception of associating Islam with terrorism, while overlooking the connection of Hinduism to religious extremism and suicide bombing. He asserted that before 9/11 nearly Tamil Tigers carried out 70% of the suicide bombing. He highlighted the injustices inflicted on the Muslim population merely on the perception of terrorism.
