A comprehensive fact-check review confirms that a tweet shared by the account @TheLegateIN on X (formerly Twitter) is fabricated propaganda. The post falsely claims that the Indian Army Chief, during his visit to forward areas in the Poonch–Rajouri sector along the Line of Control (LOC), stated: 'Be ready for Operation Sindoor 2.0 and Operation Snow Leopard 2.0.' No official Indian Army or government sources have made any such announcement. This baseless claim originates from accounts linked to India-based propaganda networks known for spreading misinformation to create panic or misrepresent military postures. The real purpose of the Army Chief's visit was routine troop morale inspection and operational assessment—not the unveiling of new offensive operations. Our opinion: This fake narrative is a dangerous attempt to sensationalize military readiness and could escalate unnecessary tensions. Readers should rely only on verified defense ministry statements and official press releases.
