A detailed fact-check review confirms that a tweet shared by @TheLegateIN on X, originally posted by @DesiEsco7, claiming that the Pakistan army is firing on protesters in Pakistan-Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (POJK) and that many have been killed or injured, is entirely fabricated and part of a coordinated disinformation campaign. Investigation reveals that the account @DesiEsco7 is linked to known India-based propaganda networks that routinely amplify false narratives against Pakistan. No credible news sources, official statements, or local reports corroborate any such incident. The images and videos often used in such posts are recycled from unrelated events in other regions. My opinion: This is a clear attempt to stoke tensions and mislead the international community. Platforms like X must act swiftly to label and remove such malicious content to prevent real-world harm.
