Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has called out the highly condemnable coverage by Indian media channels replete of sabre-rattling, in light of escalating tensions between India and Pakistan.

Criticising Indian television channels for inciting a war-like situation and provoking bloodshed, Bhatt in a tweet published on Thursday, said:

"Cruelty has always fascinated man. The gladiators used to fill the entire colosseum with crazy people baying for blood. Our TV channels pander to that savage side of man.
