The bill, which proposes significant changes to the management of Waqf properties, has become a hot topic on many news panels. - BJP’s New Narrative:
The BJP, in a fresh move ahead of upcoming elections, is promoting itself as the “savior” of Muslims. Anchors on sympathetic news channels amplified this message, suggesting that the party’s outreach initiatives are transformative for minority communities. TV Newsance critically dissects this narrative and how it is being sold to viewers. - Media Bias Exposed:
