JAMMU: Governor Satya Pal Malik on Friday expressed displeasure over the “negative portrayal” of Kashmir in national media, adding none of the achievements of the Valley were being highlighted by the fourth estate.

Drawing a parallel between his home state of Uttar Pradesh and the Valley, the Governor said no one knows about five to ten bodies lying in mortuaries daily in (UP), but  a single incident of death in Kashmir becomes national headline.

“In Delhi, Kashmir is being demonised (by the media). Everything on Kashmir is shown in bad light. If there is one death taking place in Kashmir, it is national headline,” he said at a function here. (AGENCIES)
