Propaganda in Indian Media
The Indian government and media, on the other side, are publicly rejoicing in this episode, and the Indian media is covering the attack in detail. Fake news and BLA propaganda are widely disseminated on Indian social media sites. It is impossible to overlook India’s full support for this despicable act. According to sources, Indian and anti-national social media is exceptionally busy following the cowardly terrorist attack on the Jaffar Express, and false propaganda is being spread via disseminating inaccurate information.
In the wake of the Jaffar Express incident, trains from Peshawar and Quetta have been halted at Sibi, and a support center has been established for passenger information.
