Accusations Against Pakistan's Claims

Following a claim made by Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar in the Senate, where he referenced a fabricated and edited headline from the British newspaper The Telegraph, leaders from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have accused Pakistan of disseminating false information. Amit Malviya, head of the BJP's IT cell, stated that Pakistan's propaganda is rapidly losing credibility. He pointed out that the claims made in the doctored image were fact-checked by the local newspaper Dawn, which deemed them false. Malviya also shared a video of Ishaq Dar making assertions in support of the Pakistani military during a Senate session.

Further Insights

In a post on X, Malviya remarked that Pakistan's disinformation is collapsing, revealing a web of lies and desperation. To salvage his image, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar misled the Senate by claiming that The Telegraph had labeled the Pakistan Air Force as the 'undisputed king of the skies.' This assertion was so outrageous that even Pakistan's leading newspaper, Dawn, felt compelled to fact-check and reject it.

Political Reactions

BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar also weighed in on the matter. He took a jab at the Congress party, suggesting that only Rahul's Congress operates under the assumption that people are foolish, hence the need to lie. Chandrasekhar criticized the absurd statements made by Pakistan's overindulged generals, reiterating that apart from the Pakistani military, only one other organization operates on the principle of 'people are fools, so lie'—that being Rahul's Congress.
