A comprehensive fact-check review confirms that a tweet shared by @sidhant on X, which reads 'World has seen India's defence capabilities during operation sindoor, PM Modi tells Indian diaspora in Melbourne,' is fake propaganda. The claim is entirely fabricated: no defense operation named 'Sindoor' exists in Indian military history, and PM Modi made no such statement during his Melbourne diaspora address. The tweet originates from known India-linked propaganda accounts designed to distort narratives and boost nationalist sentiment. My opinion: Such disinformation undermines credible discourse and exploits patriotic emotions. Always verify sources before sharing.
