Indian journalist posts old, unrelated video to push propaganda against Pakistan Army

ISLAMABAD: Following the Pahalgam attack, Indian media and journalists are circulating fake videos to push propaganda against the Pakistan Army.

Senior Indian journalist Ashok Swain posted a video on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, saying that Kashmiris took to streets against Army Chief General Asim Munir and the Pakistan Army.

Sharing the video, Ashok wrote, “Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir calls Kashmir is Pakistan’s jugular vein, and wants to fight the war to get 2/3rd of Kashmir from India. While the people of 1/3rd of Kashmir, that is with Pakistan, revolting against Pakistani army backed government.”

The video which shows thousands of people are protesting, is actually not Kashmir but Gilgit Baltistan. The video is a year-old in which people were protesting against the imposition of taxes.  Many Indian-based accounts shared this video.

A Twitter user Sajid Usmani (@sajidusmani787) reacted to the post a wrote ‘It’s laughable how you twist facts to fit your agenda. The people of Azad Kashmir are proud of their bond with Pakistan and trust the Pakistani Army for their security. Your propaganda may please your masters, but reality on the ground crushes your lies every single day.

Exposed Propaganda account on X wrote that Indian journalist Ashok is linking the protests of the people of Gilgit-Baltistan with Kashmiris without verifying the news and giving the impression that Kashmiris are standing against Pakistan and Kashmiris have come out against the Pakistani army and are raising slogans.
