Indian Media Lies Becomes Global Embarrassment for India
Indian Media Lies Becomes Global Embarrassment for India
Another Lie by India Exposed
Misinformation and propaganda have become powerful instruments in the ongoing conflict-ridden situation of Azad Kashmir (Pakistan) and Indian-occupied Kashmir (IIOJK). About a militant named Tahir who was killed in Pahalgam, IIOJK, Indian media recently circulate very false story. According to their story a commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, named Rizwan was evidently strapped away by the crowd during his funeral in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. Though, this description is full of inconsistencies, lacks credible evidence, and highlights India’s ongoing publicity efforts.
Fabricating a False Narrative: The Case of Tahir
The Indian media has horrified all old records in spreading lies in reporting on sensitive issues in Kashmir. The declaration that “Tahir,” the so-called militant, was killed in Pahalgam is factually uncertain because no official report on the incident ever referred to him. How did his body get to Azad Kashmir if he were killed in Indian-occupied Kashmir? It is absurd and contrary to both protocol and reality for dead bodies to cross the Line of Control (LoC).
There are serious doubts about the authenticity of the Indian story since it does not support the transfer of the body. Every day, the Indian media creates dramatic, untrue stories and thereby logic and truth are completely absent from such careless reporting.
Contradictions and Confusion Within Indian Agencies
Interestingly, a new lie replaces the old one, leaving Indian agencies perplexed. Inconsistencies in Indian intelligence and media narratives are evident in the lack of a convincing official explanation for Tahir’s identity and death, as Indian agencies such as the National Investigation Agency (NIA) fabricate stories daily to defend their ongoing intelligence failures, especially in relation to militant activity in Kashmir. Rather than a commitment to truthful reporting, the steady stream of contradicting reports points to a last ditch effort to maintain a particular geopolitical stance.
Is the presence of Lashkar-e-Taiba in Kashmir and Pakistan a myth?
Indian do not provide any evidence like video to support their claim that Rizwan, the commander of Lashkar-e-Taiba, was chased away during the funeral. Lashkar-e-Taiba is not active in Pakistan for a long time. The lack of a Lashkar commander in Pakistan raises further questions about the veracity of Indian reports that have regularly referenced Lashkar commanders with names like Rizwan. In the absence of trustworthy ground truth, India bases its narrative of cross border terrorism on the false account of active LeT commanders and their funerals in Pakistan.
Exploiting Funeral Events for Political Propaganda
According to reports, there was strong local opposition to militant groups infiltrating Tahir’s funeral in AJK, even though it was held in his ancestral village. Contrary to reports in the Indian media that LeT agents were present and ejected, Tahir’s family specifically prohibited members of Lashkar-e-Taiba from attending the funeral. Sources claim that LeT commander Rizwan Hanif and his colleagues were forced to leave after encountering hostility from local mourners when they tried to take part and this was an act of local resistance rather than proof of a significant LeT presence, as Indian media would like to suggest. According to Indian media, a Lashkar-e-Taiba commander was chased away during the funeral, conveniently ignoring the fact that this was a backlash against militants. This selective reporting skews reality for political reasons.
The Broader Implications for India’s Credibility
The Indian media have faced an international embarrassment due to its continuous dissemination of inaccurate information regarding Pakistan and Kashmir. Sincere efforts to address security concerns are put at risk by these lies, which also damage India’s standing internationally.
In addition to escalating distrust between communities, the ongoing dissemination of fake news also makes diplomatic ties with Pakistan and foreign observers more difficult. How did the body get to AJK if Tahir was killed in IIOJK? Do dead bodies cross the Line of Control now?
These reasons can lead to undermines confidence and intensifies doubt of India professed narratives.
A prime example of fabricated propaganda full of contradictions is the recent sensational story about Tahir’s murder, his purported funeral in Azad Kashmir, and the appearance of a Lashkar-e-Taiba commander named Rizwan that was created by Indian media. The propagation of lies by Indian media has shattered all previous records, seriously harming the nation’s credibility. How did the militant’s body get to Azad Kashmir if he was killed in Indian-occupied Kashmir? Indian agencies are still perplexed as a new lie replaces the old one every day, and the so-called “Tahir” was never even mentioned in any official report pertaining to the Pahalgam incident. Even though Lashkar-e-Taiba has long since been disbanded in Pakistan and no longer has an operational presence there, Indian media falsely reported that a Lashkar commander was driven away without any supporting evidence. These careless lies only serve to further embarrass India’s security and media establishment internationally. To restore lost credibility and promote peace in the area, it is imperative to prioritize logic and truth over made-up stories.
