Pakistani celebrities expose Indian media’s fake reporting after Pahalgam attack

Pakistani celebrities have expressed anger over the negative propaganda spread by Indian media, social media, and the government after the attack in Pahalgam, with some using strong words to warn the Modi government that “the consequences of taking the initiative will be bad.”

Actor, producer, and director Yasir Nawaz, in a video message on Instagram, requested the Indian media and social media users to  “stop spreading misinformation, hatred, and propaganda,” adding, “Don’t be mistaken into thinking Pakistan will do nothing.”

Actor and director Yasir Hussain also voiced his concerns, stating, “Just as India is a nuclear power, Pakistan also has an atomic bomb. Spreading hatred will have bad consequences, for which the Indians will be responsible.”

He pointed out that “Indian YouTubers, bloggers, and media figures are busy spreading hateful and false information,” behaving as if Pakistan cannot respond.

Yasir Hussain made it clear: “Pakistanis may have political differences among themselves, but when it comes to the country, they are united, and they stand with the Pakistan Army on the issue of war.”

He also condemned the Pahalgam incident and expressed deep sorrow over the loss of human lives.

Similarly, actor Shamoon Abbasi also criticised the Indian media and the Modi government for spreading hatred. He said, “After the Pahalgam incident, the Indian media spread so much false news that they even declared a living couple dead — and later, the couple had to come forward themselves to confirm they were alive.”

According to Shamoon Abbasi, negative and hateful propaganda in India incited increased aggression among its people, with some even saying they would "enter Pakistan with bombs tied to their bodies.”

He recalled that “the Indian government had similarly spread hateful propaganda during the Pulwama attack in 2016.”

Addressing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shamoon Abbasi said, “You look bad when talking about terrorism because you yourself have been promoting terrorism.”

He added that “Modi has been spreading terrorism in occupied Kashmir for years, where innocent children, women, and youth are being killed.”

Abbasi compared India and Israel, calling them “two sides of the same coin,” and said, “The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a long history of spreading terrorism and increasing problems.”

He also remarked, “Whenever a Pakistani actor goes to India for work, the BJP spreads propaganda — even when Hania Aamir and Fawad Khan visited India.”

Appealing to the Indian public, Shamoon Abbasi urged, “Wake up and understand the propaganda by your government and media. War is not the solution. Wars only destroy countries and nations.”

Singer and actor Farhan Saeed also expressed his anger over the Indian media’s behaviour, writing on Instagram, “If a war breaks out between the two countries, the Indian media will be responsible for it.”

Farhan added, “The Indian media has been doing such heinous propaganda in the past and will continue to do so. The Indian public needs to come to its senses.”

According to him, “If war breaks out due to such propaganda, the ones spreading hatred will run away — and it will be the common people who suffer.”

Singer Umair Jaswal also criticised the Indian media. Sharing a video of the couple wrongly declared dead, he called the Indian media’s behaviour “a game of the BJP.”

He wrote, “The couple who were declared dead had to shout and prove they were alive. This is how the Indian media continues its negative propaganda.”
