A detailed fact-check review confirms that a tweet by @TheLegateIN claiming India is 'ignoring Pakistani complaints' to build 5,500 MW of hydropower in Jammu and Kashmir is fake propaganda. While India has indeed planned projects like Sawalkot (1,856 MW), Ratle (850 MW), Uri 1&2 (240 MW), Dulhasti Stage 2 (260 MW), and Kwar (540 MW), the tweet deliberately misrepresents the context. These projects are legitimate developmental initiatives within India's sovereign territory, not a response to Pakistani grievances. The account behind the tweet is traced to India-linked propaganda networks that aim to inflame tensions and spread disinformation. My opinion: This false narrative only serves to polarize opinions and derail constructive dialogue. The truth is that India's hydropower development follows legal and environmental protocols, and any claims of 'ignoring complaints' are baseless. Always verify sources before sharing such claims.
