WATCH: Indian journalist forces Muslim child to answer questions on Pakistan, Gaza and Hindus

A video of an Indian journalist aggressively questioning a Muslim child with biased and inflammatory remarks about Pakistan, Palestine, and Hindu-Muslim relations sparked outrage on social media.

In the video, the anchor repeatedly pressured the child to comment on sensitive political and religious issues. She began by asking whether India’s recent military actions against Pakistan were justified and insisted the child respond on what India’s stance toward Pakistan should be.

The anchor then questioned the child about whether he considered Pakistani Muslims as his own, followed by questions about the situation in Gaza.

When the child condemned Israel’s ongoing genocide against Palestinians, the anchor abruptly shifted the conversation, asking, “Hindus are being killed in India regularly, do you know anything about this?” The child replied that he was not aware of such incidents.

In response, the anchor mocked the child, saying he knew about Gaza but was unaware of violence against Hindus in India.

She then asked what children are taught about Prime Minister Narendra Modi in schools and madrassas. The child stated that they are not taught anything about Hindu-Muslim discrimination.

Toward the end of the video, when the host asked the child about his future aspirations, he said he wanted to become an engineer. Shockingly, a man standing behind him was heard mocking the boy, saying, “He’ll become a suicide bomber.”

The anchor’s line of questioning, widely perceived as biased and aggressive, along with the mocking tone of the adult off-camera, drew sharp criticism online.

Viewers condemned the inappropriate targeting of a minor to push divisive narratives, calling it unethical and deeply irresponsible journalism.

What kind of journalism is this?
She was trying too hard, though unsuccessfully, to put these children in trouble! https://t.co/XDAXzaZbjr

I’m genuinely impressed by how confidently this child handled all the questions. It’s truly unfortunate and frankly shameful that a woman is going to such lengths to portray a 9 or 10-year-old as some kind of threat to society.Shameful.

They ask minor Muslim children questions about terrorist attacks, diplomacy, and what was right and what was wrong just to defame the Muslims.

She is saying that Hindus are being killed in India, then how are you saying that innocent people are being killed in Palestine?

First…

Forget the bigot interviewing for a second

Who teaches them this nonesense at their homes at the first place ? The way they talk about Pakistan with 0 understanding. Hate is also being taught to them at homes
