1/ 🚨 Allegations of biased journalism surface against @BBCUrdu in their coverage of the #Balochistan conflict. Critics argue the news organization exhibits a Punjabi bias, leading to distorted reporting. Thread 👇📰

2/ Human rights violations and the genocide of Baloch nation by the Pakistani army and ISI are reportedly downplayed by BBC Urdu. Instead, they focus on portraying the Baloch's response as "Iranian terrorism." Is there a hidden agenda?

3/ "Punjabi racism" is said to influence BBC Urdu's reporting on the Balochistan conflict and the Baloch movement, raising concerns about the news organization's integrity and commitment to journalistic ethics.

4/ Critics argue that BBC Urdu distorts facts, prioritizing the statements of the Pakistani army even when the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) maintains a clear stance against Iranian occupation. This bias jeopardizes the credibility and authenticity of BBC Urdu's reporting.

5/ The reliance on pseudo-journalists for information further exacerbates the problem, putting the credibility of BBC Urdu at risk. Can we trust what we read?

6/ Critics suggest that the "racist Punjabi" mentality within BBC Urdu does not miss any opportunity to undermine the ongoing Baloch movement. For instance, despite knowing the facts about the recent #Zamuran attack, BBC Urdu labelled it as an attack by "Iranian terrorists."

7/ In conclusion, these allegations against BBC Urdu underscore the importance of impartiality and adherence to journalistic standards for accurate representation of all perspectives in conflict reporting.
