India’s all out attack to counter Pakistan’s aggression has left the terror-spawning Pakistan anxious. As a result, Pakistan is now resorting to a vindictive disinformation campaign in the digital space.
From pushing fake videos to morphed images on social media platforms, the terror factory Pakistan is making a desperate attempt to mislead the media, distort the global narrative, and manipulate public perception.
Pakistan’s despairing pursuit of propagating fake news on the digital battleground has been no different than its inevitable descent in shielding terrorism on its soil. A helpless Pakistan is now cornered to paint fake news and malicious content on the digital walls.
A barrage of baseless content involving the capture of Indian soldiers and destruction of Indian defence systems is being hopelessly thrown by various Pakistani social media channels to whitewash and mask Pakistan’s inescapable loss in the global media.
A video claiming the capture of an Indian Female Air Force pilot in Pakistan is being circulated in social media. Similarly, a 2016 image is being peddled by various pro-Pakistan social media accounts to falsely claim that three fighter jets have crashed in different areas of the Himalayan region.
Another fake claim that an Indian pilot has ejected from a fighter jet over Pakistan-occupied Kashmir is also being disseminated across various platforms, which reflects the evident frustration of terror-breeding ground, Pakistan.
As Pakistan has been resorting to spreading propaganda on social media, it is crucial to scrutinise every piece of information carefully in this critical time. If you encounter dubious content, especially concerning the Indian Armed Forces or any info related to the ongoing situation, you must report it to PIB Fact Check.
