Pakistan’s anti-India propaganda has a sufferer, its Deputy PM Ishaq Dar

Pakistan appears to have forgotten the age-old knowledge handed by folktales within the Indian subcontinent — dig a pit for others, and see your self fall in it. Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, throughout a speech within the Pakistani Senate on the India-Pakistan clashes, ended up referring to a pretend information report which had been circulated by the Islamabad-Rawalpindi institution and its henchmen. So as to add insult to damage, Dar’s reference to the pretend report was fact-checked by the Pakistani media itself.

Whereas praising the Pakistani navy, Ishaq Dar, who can be the overseas minister, mentioned on Might 15, “Telegraph writes, Pakistan Air Power is the undisputed king of the skies.”

Dar was referring to a photoshopped entrance web page of The Every day Telegraph, the headline of which learn, ‘Pakistan Air Power: The undisputed king of the skies’ with a photograph of a JF-17 Thunder of the Pakistan Air Power (PAF). The date on the masthead of the web page reads Might 10.

Nevertheless, the unique frontpage of The Every day Telegraph of Might 10 had the headline — Navy chief quits ‘over affair with junior’. Pakistan or its PAF did not function whilst a digest merchandise on the entrance web page of the British day by day.

Since Might 10, Pakistani handles have been sharing a picture glorifying the PAF and even a blue-tick X deal with that appeared to amp up the disinformation of Pakistan’s chief navy spokesperson, Lieutenant Basic Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, the Director Basic of Inter-Providers Public Relations (ISPR) posted it.

The publish by the deal with @DG1SPR was flagged as AI-generated and didn’t must do something with actuality. The deal with has additionally been suspended.

Since India launched Operation Sindoor on Might 7 and hit terror camps inside Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (POK), the Pakistani disinformation trade, headed by its very personal Comical Ali, Lt Gen Chaudhry, has been on an over drive.

In media briefings too, Chaudhry and his crew used digitally altered clips to unfold pretend information. Their propaganda overdrive was such that even some western media purchased their lies.

Nevertheless, little did Pakistan’s Comical Ali and his digital military know that their very personal Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar would fall prey to their disinformation marketing campaign.

What extra, aside from India’s Press Info Bureau (PIB), it was the Pakistani media that fact-checked a booby-trapped Dar.

“This pretend declare was additional amplified by Pakistan’s International Minister Ishaq Dar throughout his assertion to the Senate on 15 Might 2025. By endorsing a very fabricated picture and headline, Pakistan deliberately lent official weight to a bit of digital deception,” posted India’s PIB on X.

The Daybreak printed a report after an investigation by its I-Confirm fact-check crew discovered the report back to be pretend.

One would not want a fact-check operation. It’s past creativeness why a British newspaper would frontpage such a narrative on the PAF until it was a paid advertorial.

However like an individual in ishaq (love), Ishaq Dar was blind.

That’s the reason the Deputy Prime Minister of Pakistan noticed The Every day Telegraph write: “PAF is the undisputed king of the skies”.

There are lots of classes for Pakistan from India’s Operation Sindoor and its response. That digging disinformation pits might entice your chief is one amongst many.
