t is election time in India. The campaigns are in full swing. The backdrop to the elections was too electrifying for the voters to be missed — a heinous terror attack on Indian security personnel in Lethpora,I Pulwama, followed by Indian air strikes on terror camps in Balakot, Pakistan. A muscular India chose to break out of its self- imposed restraint to launch a counter terror strike deep within Pakistani territory, throwing the nuclear caution to wind, with a stu- pefied international community recognising Indian right to respond. The media in both countries exchanged high- decibel invectives against each other as the de-escala- ,4;A/4=0, tion was choreo- graphed by disparate efforts by friendly countries imposing pressure on Pakistan to behave. Raves and rants aside, the military and political leadership in Pakistan beat a hasty retreat. Some terror elements were brought under custody, others were asked to soften up. The agencies paused their plans. The temperatures began to drop. The worst was over, or was it? Between India and Pakistan, there is no dearth of occasions for fighting a war by other means. The elections, perhaps, provided the context for exchange of barbs and banters. The airstrikes, called Surgical Strikes 2.0 by some, were subsequently used as a political football in India, with nationalism coming to the fore spontaneously and pouring out into the electoral campaigns through media channels com- peting with one another to nail Pakistan once and forever. An anti-Pakistan nationalism was perhaps too obvious to be missed. Those watching elections across the Radcliffe Line in Pakistan were not going to miss it. The elections in India are never followed with as much interest in Pakistan as is the case today, with the campaign for the 17th Lok Sabha Elections going on in full swing in different parts of India. Both vernacular and English language media in Pakistan, print and electronic, have joined the campaigns with their own interpreta- tions of the ongoing electoral festival in India.

he vernacular media’s coverage of India in the )', wake of the elections has been on expected lines, Ttoo. One can notice a clear emphasis on Kashmir in the narrative being circulated by writers in the print ( media. Most commentators alluded to an impending danger of India launching an attack and to avoid such a situation, “there is a need to build pressure on India to stop behaving irresponsibly. Pakistan has to protect its territory, establish a China made Air Defence System on its Eastern border with India and lace the border with land-to-air LY-80 missiles and units of IBIS 150 Radar for surveillance”. Simultaneously, Pakistan should continue to uphold the cause of the Kashmiris despite which Government comes to power in New Delhi after the elections, it was stated. Some commentators in the Urdu media gave a free run to their communal perspective and said that the Hindus behaved well when they were kept under subjugation by Muslims and the British.
