ISLAMABAD (Kashmir English): Federal Information Minister Attaullah Tarar has taken notice of Al Jazeera’s coverage of the Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) elections, accusing the international broadcaster of presenting a selective and misleading picture of the polling process.
According to the statement, “we have taken note of Al Jazeera’s selective reporting from handpicked polling stations in Muzaffarabad today.”
As per the statement, the ministry said that “Through carefully chosen timings and scripted statements from selected individuals, the channel has sought to misrepresent the AJK elections and the voting process.”
“Such yellow journalism only confirms the agenda of external actors with vested interests who are attempting to delegitimise this electoral exercise and undermine the popular will of the people of Muzaffarabad and AJK, clearly demonstrated today in their rejection of anarchy and coercion,” the post reads.
