Pakistan's Asim Munir trolled for gifting fake photo of Op Bunyan to Shehbaz Sharif
Pakistan's newly appointed Army Field Marshal Asim Munir has been trolled once again. This time, the top Pakistani army official has been called out by netizens for gifting a purported photo of Pakistan's Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos against India to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The framed painting, which was shared as a depiction of the military operation against India, is in reality a 2019 image of Chinese military strikes. This framed painting was presented to PM Sharif during a dinner hosted by Field Marshal Asim Munir. The event was held in order to honour the Pakistani armed forces "steadfast commitment," and the "indomitable spirit." This dinner was attended by the top political and military leadership of Pakistan, such as President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Senate Chairman Yusuf Raza Gilani. As pointed out by users on X, the image was debunked through a simple Google Image Search, which revealed that the framed painting was of image of a Chinese military drill. The image, which was also shared by the Chinese Ministry of Defence, is from 2019 and shows the PHL-03 long-range multiple launch rocket systems. "Pak PM just gifted Asim Munir a photo from a 2019 Chinese military drill—faking war glory against India. Instead, India provided corroborated evidences of strikes with precision and power during #OperationSindoor. Denial, deception, and delusion remain state policy of Pakistan," stated a user on X. Pakistan launched Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos in response to India's Operation Sindoor. As part of this military operation, Pakistan launched a series cross-border drone and missile attacks. Despite Pakistan's claim of victory, Indian armed forces thwarted the operation and incoming attacks cross north and west India.

'What A Joke': Pak Army Chief Trolled Over Fake Picture Of 'Op Bunyan'
New Delhi: In yet another embarrassment for Islamabad pushing forward its fake propaganda of claiming military operation victory over India, various social media users in Islamabad and across the world, mocked the Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir for presenting a framed painting, which shows striking resemblance to an alleged Chinese military exercise, as a gift to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at a high-profile dinner event. However, what caught the internet's eye was a framed painting gifted by General Munir to Prime Minister Sharif. Images released from the event showed the painting, which was touted as a depiction of the so-called military operation over India. But sharp-eyed users on social media platform X were quick to point out that the image bore a striking resemblance to a four-year-old photograph from a Chinese military exercise. Several users claimed that the image was lifted directly from publicly available visuals of the Chinese People's Liberation Army drills, raising questions about the authenticity of Pakistan's portrayal of Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos. "Apparently the Pakistan Army Chief has gifted PM Shehbaz Sharif a dated Chinese military photo as a souvenir to illustrate Pak Army attack against India. So not just a fake victory narrative but also a fake photo with it. What a joke @OfficialDGISPR," one social media user on X said. "They can't even produce original visuals of their own military operation," a second user in a post on X quipped. "In another embarrassing moment, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif gifts a morphed photo of a Chinese PHL-03 rocket launcher downloaded from Google Images to Pakistani Field Marshal Asim Munir. (smiling emoji).#pakistan #asimmunir #operationsindoor #India #viral #funny #globalnews #trending #news," another social media user wrote on Instagram. Criticism has also mounted over the timing of Munir's promotion. Traditionally, the rank of Field Marshal is reserved for military leaders who steer their nation to undeniable victory in war. But in this case, no such conflict has occurred, and sources suggest that during the alleged "Operation Sindoor," it was India that inflicted damage on Pakistan's airbases and neutralised its drones and missiles. A high-profile dinner hosted by Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir, Chief of Army Staff, has stirred fresh controversy online. The event, meant to honour the political leadership, the armed forces' "steadfast commitment," and the "indomitable spirit" of the people of Pakistan as seen during "Marka-e-Haq - Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos," became the subject of widespread mockery on social media. The dinner was attended by top political and military leadership, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Senate Chairman Yusuf Raza Gilani, and others. Indian defence systems have thwarted Pakistan's military response following Operation Sindoor, successfully intercepting most of the drones and unmanned aerial vehicles launched from across the border. Despite these realities, the Pakistani narrative around Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos was presented as a patriotic high point at the dinner. But the discovery of the Chinese-origin image has now undermined the credibility of the narrative and made the entire event a subject of public mockery. As of now, neither the Pakistan Army nor the government has issued any clarification regarding the viral image or the backlash over Munir's promotion.
