New Delhi/Washington/IBNS: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has slammed the mainstream US media over their coverage of India calling them "biased", media reports said.

Speaking in front of a gathering of Indian-Americans, Jaishankar said as quoted by NDTV, "I look at the media. You know, there are some newspapers you know, exactly, what they are going to write, including one in this town."

Replying to a question on the increasing "anti-India forces" back home, Jaishankar said, "My point is there are biases, there are efforts really, to determine..."

"Look, the more India goes its way and the people who believe that they were the custodians and the shapers of India lose ground in India the more actually, some of these debaters are gonna come outside," he added.

Speaking about the alleged misrepresentation of the pot boiling Kashmir issue, the External Affairs Minister said, "If there are Indian soldiers or Indian policemen who are abducted; If there are people working for the government, or citizens going about their business, who will lose their lives?"

"How often do you hear people talking about it; pronouncing it, in fact, look at the media coverage. What does the media cover? what does the media not cover?," he added.
