Pak troll networks spread lies about Indian Army leadership, gets debunked
As India enforces stringent retaliatory measures against Pakistan in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attacks, several Pakistan-based media outlets and proxy social media accounts have launched a coordinated disinformation campaign targeting senior Indian Armed Forces officers in a failed attempt to discredit official records and authoritative fact-checks have thoroughly debunked these claims, which analysts describe as part of Islamabad's routine use of fabricated narratives to deflect from Indian ALLEGATION AGAINST LIEUTENANT GENERAL DS RANAPropaganda: Pakistani channels and troll networks claimed that Lieutenant General DS Rana, Director General of the Defence Intelligence Agency, had been "sacked" and exiled to the "Kala Pani" penal colony in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, following supposed operational lapses. Fact: Far from being dismissed, Lieutenant General Rana has been promoted to the rank of Commander-in-Chief in his current role, meaning he is now elevated to a higher rank within the same appointment as DG DIA. He will assume the prestigious tri-services command of Commander-in-Chief, Andaman and Nicobar Command (CINCAN), on June STORY ON LIEUTENANT GENERAL MV SUCHINDRA KUMARPropaganda: Pro-Pakistani social media handles insinuated that Lieutenant General MV Suchindra Kumar was "shunted out" of Northern Command due to security failures linked to the Pahalgam Lieutenant General Suchindra Kumar retired on April 30, upon reaching superannuation after nearly four decades of distinguished service. The routine change of command had been notified well in CHARGES AGAINST AIR MARSHAL SP DHARKARadvertisementPropaganda: A network of Pakistan-originated accounts claimed that Vice Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal SP Dharkar, was "dismissed" for "refusing to fight a war" against Air Marshal Dharkar completed his full tenure and superannuated on April 30, receiving a ceremonial guard-of-honour and paying homage at the National War Memorial. Air Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari has since assumed the role of Vice Chief of the Air Staff as part of an orderly succession to experts, these fabrications demonstrate a clear pattern, with each false claim surfacing within hours of New Delhi's calibrated response to the Pahalgam terror InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Pakistan

Pahalgam terror attack: Fourteen held in Assam for ‘pro-Pakistan' comments
At least 14 people have been arrested in Assam so far for making 'seditious comments' in the wake of the Pahalgam attack, Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said on Saturday (April 26, 2025). He warned that if required, these people would be booked under the National Security Act (NSA). 'There are no similarities between Bharat and Pakistan. The two countries are enemy nations and we must remain like that,' Mr. Sarma told reporters on the sidelines of a programme at the State BJP office in Guwahati. He said a leader of Krishak Mukti Sangram Samiti was apprehended on Friday for his 'anti-India comment' and warned that anyone who takes such a stance will be arrested. "If required, we will impose provisions of NSA on them. We are examining all (social media) posts, and action will be taken against those who, we feel, are anti-national," the Chief Minister asserted. My job is clear- to come down hard on Pro-Pakistani and Pro-Bangladeshi elements in Assam and to take stringent action against them. — Himanta Biswa Sarma (@himantabiswa) April 26, 2025 In a post on X, he said the number of arrested persons for making 'pro-Pakistan' comments has increased to 14. "Total 14 arrests made till now against people who have made seditious comments," he said, sharing the update on 'crackdown against traitors' till 7 p.m. on Saturday. At least six arrests were reported during the day, including two in Cachar and one each in Hailakandi, Nagaon and Sribhumi. Mr. Sarma, in another post on X, said one person was held in Sribhumi district on Friday night. He said the accused had posted 'Pakistan Zindabad' on Facebook. In yet another post on social media, he said two more persons have been arrested on similar charges in Cachar district. "Cachar Police has arrested two more persons for posting content supporting Pakistan on social media," he said. Two persons, including opposition AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam, were apprehended on Thursday, while six more arrests across the state were made on Friday, Mr. Sarma had said. Terrorists struck Baisaran, a prime tourist location in Pahalgam in south Kashmir on Tuesday, killing at least 26 people, mostly tourists, and injuring several others.
