Abstract
The purpose of this research is to analyze how a crucial incident of Pakistan’s recent political history - the Red Mosque military operation of 2007 has been reported and narrated by selected Western and Local Right wing newspapers. How these media forums framed the news stories about the Red Mosque incident in their respective contexts.
