Indian media driven by crass commercialisation: Pak advisory

New Delhi, Mar 30: It is the turn of the Indian media to be at the receiving end with Pakistan issuing an advisory to its pressmen asking them "not to follow the Indian media that is driven by crass commercialisation" while covering .

"In the wake of Lahore, Islamabad and Karachi incidents, media is expected to cover the events with utmost professional responsibility... "Pakistan media needs to follow the example of professional handling of Brussels attacks by international media rather than following in the footsteps of Indian media that is driven by crass commercialisation," Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority said in an advisory.

The advisory was scoffed at by Indian journalists, some of whom described it as "ironical".
