Looking For Votes & Trying to Justify His Criminal War
The pilot was an Indian national who fought the jihadi attacker, was injured, and still managed to open the cockpit—an act of extraordinary courage that could have saved countless lives.
Yet somehow, the international media seems remarkably reluctant to highlight his bravery or even give him the recognition he deserves.
If the same heroism had involved someone from a country the Western media prefers to celebrate, would the coverage have been the same?
This isn't journalism when facts are selectively highlighted and a hero's identity is conveniently ignored. A courageous act is courageous regardless of nationality—and heroes deserve to be recognised, not erased from the story.
