India slams BBC for calling terrorists ‘militants’ in Pahalgam reportage

The Centre has written a formal letter to British public broadcaster BBC over its reportage on the Pahalgam terror attack, objecting to the use of the word “militants” to describe “terrorists”.

In a communication to Jackie Martin, who is the India head of the BBC, the Ministry of External Affairs said, “A formal letter has been sent to the BBC on terming terrorists as militants. The External Publicity Division of the MEA will be monitoring the reporting of the BBC.”
