DG ISPR Slams Indian Media’s Fabricated Narratives

The Indian media has circulated false narratives alleging that Pakistan launched counterattacks against the Indian cities of Amritsar and Gujarat, as well as in Indian-occupied Kashmir. These claims lack credible evidence and have been widely dismissed as baseless.

Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) has strongly dismissed the so-called evidence presented by Indian media, questioning whether Indian authorities are still operating under 18th-century tactics in an era defined by digital verification. He emphasized that in the 21st century, every piece of information leaves a digital footprint, and the content being circulated by Indian outlets on social media and television lacks authenticity.

According to DG ISPR, these visuals are not only fabricated but also part of a deliberate propaganda campaign orchestrated by the Indian government to mislead public opinion.

Several respected retired Indian military officials and journalists have publicly questioned the authenticity of these reports. They emphasize that no verified data or official statements support the assertions made by certain Indian news outlets.

A deepfake video attributed to Pakistan’s Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) is currently being shared on the social media platform X. The fabricated clip falsely suggests that India shot down two Pakistani JF-17 fighter jets. In reality, Pakistan has not retaliated and continues to exercise restraint in response to Indian provocations.

India has also claimed to have intercepted multiple drones allegedly launched by Pakistan. However, no concrete proof has been presented to substantiate these allegations before the international press or public.

At 2:57 AM on May 9, 2025, Islamabad International Airport remained fully operational. Similarly, Jinnah International Airport in Karachi continued its regular functions. Airblue Flight ABQ417 from Dubai was observed making its approach at Allama Iqbal International Airport in Lahore, confirming that civil aviation operations were unaffected.

Some prominent Indian news organizations have further alleged that Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff was arrested. These claims are part of a broader pattern of misinformation being disseminated by Indian media outlets.

The Pakistani Armed Forces have clarified that they will respond to any aggression at a time and place of their choosing. For now, the security situation across Pakistan remains under high alert following reports that Israeli-made Indian drones were intercepted and neutralized in several cities yesterday.

Authorities urge citizens to remain calm, avoid spreading unverified information, and rely only on official sources for updates.
