Did BBC invite anyone to actually put forward the Pakistani viewpoint, or just some "neutral" Indian to speak on our behalf?
BBC UK is overrun by India origin senior editorial staff, completely - our fault for letting it happen - one may suggest this is not relevant, but it has introduced bias into their reporting agenda. Even when reporting on Pakistani events, these UK based Indians are deployed to compile the reports. BBC will proudly claim this is an example of ethnic diversity, but of course, in truth, it is the facilitation of biased journalism.
This is without even mentioning the influence of their overseas Bureau in India, which commandeers reportage across the whole subcontinent.
The watering down and "explaining away" of anti-muslim disenfranchisement and massacres in India is quite disgusting frankly. Then there is the outright banning in India of anything critical of the nationalised political position - Modi is beyond objective critique, as demonstrated by the banning of a recent BBC documentary on him. The Indian government has carried out its usual "tax raids" to enforce compliance of the India Bureau.
In a global sense, BBC has become ineffective as and unwilling to even try to be an independent news source on subcontinental matters.

BBC India offices searched by income tax officials
The searches come weeks after a documentary in the UK looked at PM Modi's role in 2002 riots.
"Foreign funding for digital news companies based in India was capped at 26% under new regulatory requirements.
The change effectively means any company publishing digital news content in the country must be majority-owned by Indian nationals."
BBC announces restructure to India operations

...and somehow we are told that Indian media is vibrant and free and a demonstration of the 1.2billion stronk democracy.
