The BBC and Al Jazeera report failed to highlight that banned terrorist organisations may have backed the protest march.

the government prepares for the challenge of ensuring peace in Kashmir on Independence Day, two news reports from international media organisations are generating a lot of heat on social media.

Several netizens have blamed that both the reports reek of bias against India and present a distorted picture of the situation on the ground in the Valley.

The first report is from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and the other from Al Jazeera. The two reports, containing "exclusive" videos, were published on August 9.

According to the reports, when the curfew was lifted last Friday for the first time since the abolition of Article 370, a mob of thousands of people protested against the Indian government in Srinagar. This, claim the reports, happened even as there is an unprecedented deployment of troops in the Valley and the entire area is under the complete control of security forces.
