How Indian media portrayed Imran’s election victory

In his 22-year-old political struggle, Imran Khan maintained his status as a cricket lord loved by the world – even rivals. However, in the weeks up to the general elections, the charismatic cricketer-turned-politician fondly known as ‘Kaptaan’, attracted undue negative attention from Indian media.

India’s News18 elaborated on how the term ‘Taliban Khan’ was coined, another local publication called him an ‘army puppet’. The Times Now live-coverage ran “India’s enemy Imran to be PM.”

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Indian media is taking Imran Khan's victory a little too personal. &#55357;&#56834;<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PrimeMinisterImranKhan?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PrimeMinisterImranKhan</a> <a href="https://t.co/Hp4ajP4N9N">pic.twitter.com/Hp4ajP4N9N</a></p>— Asfandyar Bhittani &#55356;&#56821;&#55356;&#56816; (@BhittaniKhannnn) <a href="https://twitter.com/BhittaniKhannnn/status/1022479199314030592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 26, 2018</a></blockquote>

Debates on Indian news channels revolved around Imran’s sincerity to the war on terror to him being ‘selected’ and not ‘elected’ to run the country. Some went on to allege the premier-in-waiting was a mere face brought on by the Army, others termed it a ‘sham’ democracy and doubted Imran would be able to achieve anything as he was “far more at the mercy of the military than his predecessor”.

Following his victory speech where he commented on Indian media’s portrayal of him as a “Bollywood villain”, the PTI chairman stated that his incoming government would like better relations with the neighbouring country. Hosts and analysts on Indian media chided him for reading out a ‘familiar’ script.

“If you take one step, we will take two,” said Imran as he urged for better relations. But Indian media appeared offended by Imran highlighting the Kashmir cause. “Kashmir cannot be made a core issue,” insisted a host on ABP. “It was not the right time to bring up Kashmir,” added one of the guests.

But for those who knew him, Imran’s victory was long-time coming.

In an interview, former Indian cricketer and captain of the world-cup winning team, Kapil Dev, praised Imran for his perseverance. “Imran was the first captain to push for neutral umpires, I knew it then that he was a good man,” he said.

“Some of his closest friends are from India. He is well-travelled. He has the rational to steer his country in a better direction and the sense to work towards what is better not just for Pakistan but for neighbouring country,” dwelled Kapil. “No other cricketer has reached the level Imran has in politics – it all because of his dedication.”

Although PTI’s has secured enough seats in National, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab assemblies to take lead, it is yet to announce Imran’s nomination as the premier-elect. Meanwhile, the Election Commission if Pakistan (ECP) continues to confirm results – two days after the general elections.

I have never seen any other media losing their marbles like this, ever. Seen media from all over the world but Indian media is pure entertainment.

The description of Imran as Taliban Khan is all the more laughable from a nation that voted a Hindutva party into power. I think India suffers really badly from this dissonance of seeing themselves as a secular nation on the one hand, and having a Hindu supremacist ideology rampant throughout their society. Perhaps that is why they consistently focus on Taliban Khan and Islamic Pakistan to compensate.

 

[shaaik]

They can't be serious. It's not like millions of people would vote for IK as if he were a terrorist plotting right now

The whole idea throws logic out of window.

Journalists talk a lot about 'free speech' and it's ironic they are the ones who sell news/programs. And it happens everywhere from USA to Australia

Just couldn't agree more with you. Freedom of speech speech and free media are a farce to hoodwink the common masses. Indian media which claims to be the champions of freedom of speech and free press hv a phd in lying , misinformation and deception.

I know many Indian ppers don't like this subject but Modi said: "Let Hindus vent anger" https://www.hindustantimes.com/indi...op-tells-sc/story-ARYlthowAR0It3skogncpM.html in 2002, a lot of Indian Muslims were murdered that day. Do BJP even consider Muslims of their country Indians?

Modi had "ordered let Muslims be taught a lesson".

And they have nerve to criticize someone like Imran Khan

Your source didn't say Modi said these words it says a Police officer said this.It's like Reham khan saying she heard Imran khan saying soemthing.

You only have to listen to BJP's voter and their local goons' speeches in July 2018 to get an idea.

Reham has no similarities with that police officer. But then y'all already know all that.

Lol. Sajeev Bhatt.

He was caught lying to the supreme court on orders of another political party and NGO.Supreme court ordered that he be prosecuted. He has been dismissed from police service.

So these allegations were proved false in the court.

Seeing the Indian media blow up after Afridi's tweet, no surprise to see this happening now. Indians and their media deserve each other
