During the Indo-Pakistan tension, the Indian media continued to be a tool of state propaganda. During the Indo-Pakistan tension, the Indian media’s propaganda made Indian democratic claims suspicious. The American newspaper said that there was no evidence or independent verification of all these reports and the Indian media presented these claims as if they were absolute facts. Indian journalist Rajdeep admitted that the news of the shooting down of a Pakistani plane was a mistake and the Indian government also cracked down on those who spoke the truth.

More than 8,000 accounts were blocked in India on the legal request of the Indian government. The majority of the blocked social media accounts belong to Pakistanis.
The renowned Indian journalist, who has released his report after in-depth research analysis, has clarified that the news of the shooting down of Pakistani planes was completely false and baseless. He said that this news is part of a propaganda campaign, which is aimed at increasing tensions in South Asia and creating misunderstanding among the public. According to the journalist, this news is not confirmed by any reliable source and there is no real evidence for it. He said that such news is spread to incite warlike feelings and influence public opinion in order to achieve political and military objectives.

He added that such fake news is spread on Indian media and social media platforms, which have no connection with reality. The journalist has said in his report that according to the statements and official priorities of the military authorities of both countries, there has been no aggressive action or incident of shooting down Pakistani aircraft in recent days. He said that it is also clear from the official statements of the Indian Army and Air Force that no such incident took place.

Furthermore, he said that despite the ongoing efforts for peace and order in South Asia, the market of misunderstandings and accusations is being heated between the parties, which have no relation to reality. He has requested the government and the public not to listen to such false news and get information from reliable sources.
The journalist is of the view that to prevent such fake news, the media should show responsibility and inform the public about the facts. He said that the authorities of both countries should be careful in their official statements and issue effective messages to prevent misunderstandings. The revelation is proof that negative propaganda is spread by complicating the situation, which is aimed at influencing public opinion and increasing tension.

Pakistani and Indian authorities should ensure the security of their territory and people and avoid such news that can pose a threat to peace and stability. The public should also be responsible and obtain information only from official and reliable sources to avoid misunderstandings.
