False Claims: Sources Respond to Pakistan's 'Operation Sindoor'

Following India's precision strikes in response to the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan has initiated a disinformation campaign, characterized by misleading claims aimed at diverting attention from the reality of the situation. Sources describe this as a "disinformation offensive," with Pakistan's social media and political figures propagating false narratives, including claims of shooting down an Indian Rafale jet, which was debunked as an outdated image from a past incident. Pakistani officials, including Information Minister Atatullah Tarar, have also made unverified assertions about Indian forces allegedly surrendering. The campaign reportedly includes fabricating stories of military victories and manipulating old videos to mislead the public. As Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif recently retracted claims of capturing Indian soldiers, it is evident that the country is attempting to control the narrative following India's successful military operation, Operation Sindoor, by flooding social media with falsehoods. sources

Mamata Banerjee's 'Jai Hind' Post After Operation Sindoor Reaction

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's recent post on X, expressing patriotic sentiments with "Jai Hind! Jai India!" in response to India's 'Operation Sindoor' against Pakistan, drew critical reactions on Wednesday. Known for her customary closing phrase "Jai Bangla," Banerjee's unexpected message led some to speculate that her account may have been hacked. Critics highlighted her previous demand for evidence of the Indian Air Force's actions in Balakot in March 2019, questioning her current display of patriotism. One user accused her of "chameleon politics," suggesting her support for the military was inconsistent, while another urged her to promote nationalism through her party's IT cell. Additionally, some reminded her of past criticisms of the Indian Army, questioning her reluctance to acknowledge the Armed Forces and the Modi government positively. sources

India Criticizes Chinese Media for Op Sindoor Disinformation

India has condemned the Chinese state media outlet Global Times for disseminating disinformation regarding its recent cruise missile strikes on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir. The Global Times used outdated images of crashed aircraft to misrepresent Operation Sindoor, during which India conducted 24 precision strikes on nine identified terrorist hubs. The Indian embassy in China urged the outlet to fact-check its sources, highlighting that pro-Pakistan narratives were spreading unfounded claims.

India accused Pakistan of failing to address its terrorist infrastructure and noted that further attacks were likely.
