verified Pak Defense handle for faking Indian picture
Twitter deleted Pakistan's verified Defence handle after
they used a fake picture of an Indian girl.
The picture, which showed a woman holding a placard giving
out message of the "secular values of our constitution," was morphed
and distorted, which sent out a completely negative message against India.
Pakistan's defence handle @defencepk, however, deleted the
picture some time later.
Earlier, in September, Pakistan used a fake picture to
establish a false narrative.
Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi,
in her right to reply to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's speech at
the UN, showed pictures of Palestinian victims and tried to pass them off as
'evidence' of atrocities on Kashmiris.
The picture, used by Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, was
reported by a number of media outlets as that of Rawia Abu Joma'a, a
17-year-old girl injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza city in 2014. Rawia's
picture was taken by award winning photographer Heidi Levine.
