A tweet from user @sidhant, traced to India-linked propaganda networks, falsely claims that Pakistan's Foreign Minister Dar raised the Kashmir issue and the Indus Water Treaty during press statements with Canada's Foreign Minister Anand. However, a thorough review of the official joint statement and press coverage from Canada reveals no mention of either topic by the Canadian side. This discrepancy confirms the tweet is fabricated disinformation designed to inflame tensions and mislead audiences. The claim is baseless; Canada's FM focused on bilateral trade, immigration, and regional security without any reference to Kashmir or water treaties. Our opinion: Such tactics undermine honest diplomatic discourse and serve only to polarize international relations. Readers should verify sources before sharing such unverified claims.
