In a powerful display of transparency and professionalism, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has shattered India’s narrative surrounding the so-called “Operation Sandoor.”
By presenting undeniable evidence and verified data, Pakistan has once again highlighted how Indian media continues to push false flag propaganda to serve political motives.
According to reliable sources, Indian news channels — led by NDTV, News18, and other pro-government outlets — aggressively circulated fake news during “Operation Sandoor.” These channels falsely claimed the downing of Pakistan Air Force’s F-16 and JF-17 jets and even fabricated the capture of a Pakistani pilot. These sensational claims dominated Indian primetime broadcasts, fueling nationalism and steering public attention away from deeper security failures.
International media, including Reuters, and leading fact-checking organizations quickly debunked these stories. Further discrediting India’s position, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) denied claims about an alleged missile strike on Pakistan’s nuclear assets — another baseless rumor that Indian media propagated in the heat of the moment.
The campaign of misinformation didn’t stop there. Deepfake videos featuring a fake version of the ISPR spokesperson circulated on social platforms, attempting to create confusion about the extent of Pakistani losses. However, international verification agencies exposed these videos as entirely fabricated, further damaging India’s credibility.
What makes this episode more alarming is how the false flag propaganda blurred the lines between truth and fiction. Defense analysts pointed out that Indian news coverage resembled more of a soap opera than factual reporting. India’s failure to provide satellite images or any physical proof of its claims, including the alleged attack on Karachi Port, only added to the growing skepticism.
In contrast, Pakistan’s response was marked by restraint, professionalism, and an emphasis on verified information. Senior military officials, including the DG ISPR, the Pakistan Air Force, and Navy representatives, conducted detailed press briefings. They showcased radar logs, satellite imagery, flight data, and physical evidence — all of which clearly dismantled India's narrative.
Pakistan also extended an open invitation to international media and observers to visit the alleged attack sites. This transparency was applauded globally and viewed as a responsible and diplomatic move. Analysts say this shows Pakistan’s strong commitment to truth and accountability in the face of rising hybrid warfare tactics.
Rather than holding its own government accountable for major intelligence lapses, Indian media doubled down on warmongering and sensationalism. One of the most bizarre claims included a fictional story about an internal coup against Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir — a narrative that was quickly discredited.
Political analysts emphasized that false flag propaganda has become a dangerous tool in modern hybrid warfare. When state-controlled media promotes fake stories and conspiracy theories, it not only misguides the public but also risks escalating tensions between nuclear-armed neighbors.
In the end, Pakistan’s steady and facts-based approach won international praise. Global observers lauded Islamabad’s calm demeanor, open-door policy for investigation, and strong rebuttal of India’s baseless allegations. In an age where misinformation travels faster than facts, Pakistan’s stance stands out as a rare example of truth triumphing over propaganda.
