Starting #NLprimetime today. Hoping we get some sombre news reporting on the #IndoChinaFaceoff. Exactly a week ago, TV news anchors were telling us how we have won the war against China.
Aaj Tak reporting on the faceoff between the two armies. Talks of 1975 when four Assam Rifles jawans were killed by the Chinese.
TV9 Bharatvarsh is still on Pakistan, Imran Khan and Bushara Bibi. Nuts.
.@ajaishukla is on @TimesNow. He says friendly channels lapped up denials by the Indian government including 'this channel'.
BJP spokie line across channels seems to be that we cannot respond to China the way we respond to Pakistan. #NLprimetime
Sushant Sareen says the BJP spokie sounds like the CPC spokie as seems to be playing down casualties when it comes to China.
On ABP News, the reporter is telling us: 'dragon baukhala gaya hai'. Dragon has gone mad. Apparently, because Dragon is scared and internationally isolated because of Corona. Dragon is also scared of India's economic might. 'Thodi complicated situation hai'. #NLprimetime
On News Nation, Deepak Chaurasia says we gave it back to China and killed 5 of their soldiers. This information is not credible and not based on anything official.
Arnab Goswami is going to strategise how to defeat the Chinese tonight.
'What are the Chinese...it is in our destiny to defeat them'. #NLprimetime
I don't think I have seen (Retd) Major Gen GD Bakshi this calm ever in any debate. Very calmly explaining why China must not mess with India.
Meanwhile, India TV is on the #SushantSinghRajput's case and Raveena Tandon's tweet on it.
As journalists break the news of up to 20 casualties on the Indian side at Galwan, Deepak Chaurasia is on Mewat, cow, Hindu-Muslim and Hindu khatre main hai.
At the same time, on Zee News, Sudhir Chaudhary says China must be shocked after so many of its soldiers were killed last night.
Back on Republic, Arnab has brought on Rajeev Chandrasekhar -- 'biggest mistake Xi Jinping can make,' he says. 'We have to push back'
Best way to figure out what the govt is thinking in the absence of a formal word out is to maybe watch Republic. Currently, they have ANI editor in chief saying "we will give it back", while the ticker has ANI flash saying 43 casualties on the Chinese side, 20 army men martyred
Meanwhile, journalists who will want to report on the faceoff in earnest and ask details and questions, this is what you will be told in the coming days.
