Jammu: The Indian Army informed on Saturday that the Pakistani media and their proxy social media handles have launched a disinformation campaign against the country’s armed forces officers after being rattled by India’s firm resolve to punish the perpetrators of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.
“In the wake of India’s firm resolve to punish the perpetrators of the 22 April Pahalgam terror attack, several Pakistan-based media outlets and proxy social-media handles have launched a coordinated disinformation campaign aimed at discrediting senior Indian Armed Forces officers,” a defence ministry official said.
He added that these attempts have been comprehensively debunked by official records and authoritative fact-checks, once again exposing Islamabad’s habitual resort to fake narratives whenever confronted with the prospect of decisive Indian action.
“Pakistani channels and troll networks alleged that Lieutenant General D.S. Rana, Director General of the Defence Intelligence Agency, had been ‘sacked’ and exiled to the ‘Kala Pani penal colony in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands following supposed operational lapses,” he said. (IANS)
