Dialogue/Diplomacy and Nuclear threats. The issues are analyzed in context of war and peace framing applying
framing theory using content analysis method. Pakistani and Indian newspapers framed the issues in the contexts
which suits their government and the nation’s narratives as in Pakistan the people were having reservations and
they were annoyed over the Indian act but Indian media presented it in peace frame. A harsh tone was there in
Pakistani media over the curfew and violations of the human rights whereas the Indian media considered this as a
big achievement and supported the act of the Indian government. Pakistan despite the displeasing act of India which
also challenged the regional security, urged to support the bilateral trade and normalization of the relations but
contrary to this Indian media entirely opposed to have bilateral trade and normalizing the relations favoring war
framing.
