📍 बार-बार दोहराए गए दावे हमेशा सच नहीं होते।
⚠️ भारतीय सेना से जुड़े दावे सोशल मीडिया पर तेज़ी से फैलते हैं। उन्हें बार-बार शेयर और दोहराया जाता है। लेकिन याद रखें—किसी दावे का बार-बार दोहराया जाना उसे सच नहीं बनाता।
👉 किसी वायरल दावे पर विश्वास करने या उसे शेयर करने से पहले: 🔹 स्रोत की जाँच करें।
🔹 मूल जानकारी और संदर्भ देखें।
🔹 जाँचें कि दावा किसने और कब किया।
🔹 विश्वसनीय और आधिकारिक स्रोतों से सत्यापित करें।
🎯 याद रखें:
दोहराव ≠ सत्य
वायरल होना ≠ सत्यापन
❌ सिर्फ इसलिए शेयर न करें क्योंकि बाकी सभी लोग शेयर कर रहे हैं।
🛡️ सोचें। सत्यापित करें। सुरक्षित रखें।

🚨 Unmask the Lies
❌ Propaganda accounts are circulating unverified claims that several villages near Panzgam and Keegam in Kupwara have been ordered to evacuate, that residents have been told to remain silent and that alleged troop movements indicate an imminent Indian military operation.
✅ FACT: These are fake allegations from a Pak based handle @tequieremos. There have been NO evacuation orders, restrictions on residents discussing the matter or the speculative claims about an impending military action.
🎯 Disinformation Pattern:
Unverified local claims + speculation about routine military activity + dramatic “something is coming” language = a narrative designed to create fear, confusion and mislead audiences about Jammu & Kashmir.
📍 Stay Alert. Don’t amplify unverified propaganda.

🚨 Filter the Fiction
❌ Propaganda accounts are using selective clips from Discovery’s ‘Declassified: Operation Sindoor’ documentary and pushing a fabricated narrative that senior Indian Armed Forces officials like Chief of Air Staff “admitted producing false information” to deceive the public.
✅ FACT: The clip is being presented with a false and misleading interpretation. Discussion about strategic communication and countering hostile narratives is being deliberately twisted into an alleged admission of spreading fake information.
❌ At no point does the available material substantiate the sensational claim that the Indian Armed Forces admitted “duping the general audience” by manufacturing false information.
🎯 Propaganda Playbook:
Authentic documentary clip + selective extraction + distorted interpretation + fabricated caption = a fake narrative manufactured for propaganda.
⚠️ A genuine video does not make a fabricated interpretation & edited audio genuine.

🚨 Spot the Synthetic
❌ Pakistan-sponsored propaganda accounts are circulating an edited video of former CDS Gen Anil Chauhan, falsely attributing misleading statements to him about Operation Sindoor.
❌ The fake narrative claims that women officers were specifically “prepared” to deliver strategic messaging because India had lost aircraft. That is a distortion of his actual remarks.
✅ In the documentary, Gen Chauhan explained that the presence of two women officers at the Armed Forces briefing conveyed a powerful message - that Indian women would not be intimidated by terrorist attacks and that India’s social fabric would remain resilient.
🎯 Disinformation Pattern of Pak based accounts like @InsiderWB:
Select genuine video footage + selective editing/splicing of audio + fabricated connection + sensational “Breaking” caption = a misleading propaganda narrative.
⚠️ Don’t let edited clips push a propaganda. Verify before you amplify.

🚨 Detect the Deepfake
❌ Pakistan-sponsored propaganda accounts are circulating a digitally manipulated video of Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai, falsely attributing a statement that the Indian Army was “reluctant to fight Pakistan” during Operation Sindoor.
❌ The claim is fake and deliberately misleading. Lt Gen Ghai made no such comments in the original footage in a recently released documentary.
✅ Authentic footage from Operation Sindoor Documentary has been manipulated and pushed with AI fabricated audio and captions to distort his remarks and manufacture a false narrative.
🇮🇳 In reality, Lt Gen Ghai has publicly stated that India exercised measured strategic restraint while remaining fully prepared for escalation and that Pakistan was ultimately compelled to negotiate.
🎯 Disinformation Pattern:
Authentic footage of military leaders + manipulated audio + misleading context + false attribution + sensational “Breaking” caption = Pakistan-sponsored information warfare designed to undermine trust in India’s military leadership.
⚠️ Verify the original footage before sharing.

❌ Several Pak based social media handles using fake Indian names are pushing a propaganda campaign using key words ‘Manipur situation getting worse’ in a coordinated manner by using same misleading narratives and unverified content.

During the operation, our valiant soldiers and officers gave a befitting reply to the terrorists and their patrons—one they will never forget.

I want to send a clear message from this platform that this will be the outcome of every nefarious act that threatens India's sovereignty."
"At this war memorial, you will see the whole of India. Among these martyrs, you will find names from Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu, and every region of the country. You will find the names of those who visited temples, mosques, gurdwaras, and churches. Those who dream of breaking this country should look at this wall.

#WATCH | Jaipur, Rajasthan: At the press conference on the anniversary of Operation Sindoor, Lt Gen Rajiv Ghai says, "Operation Sindoor proved that Atmanirbhar is not just a slogan, it is indeed a force multiplier. Today, over 65% of our defence equipment is being manufactured domestically. I also want to speak here of our exit strategy and escalation control. In an era of prolonged conflicts around the world, we struck hard, achieved clearly defined objectives and then decided to cease hostilities when the Pakistanis were compelled to negotiate and requested us to stop. The objectives were achieved through a calibrated shot and sharp shock that altered the enemy's risk appetite and disrupted his command and control without locking India into a long-drawn war or conflict, the ill effects of which we are seeing in ongoing conflicts around the world... Finally, the operation placed enormous responsibility on every arm of the state. Intelligence agencies provided the accurate information that is so critical to precision targeting. Cyber and electronic warfare units maintained information dominance. The government managed the international environment as also the internal security and public reassurance. The armed forces executed the kinetic phase with discipline, precision and minimal collateral impact. This multi-agency, multi-domain coordination will remain the template for future operations..."
