The government has dismissed the reports carried by several news channels and social media posts, claiming that External Affairs Minister Dr S. Jaishankar said Chinese satellites helped Pakistan. The Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau clarified that the External Affairs Minister is being misquoted and that he has not made this statement. It urged people to stay vigilant and avoid falling for deceptive information.

A fake letter purportedly addressed by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Northern Command, is also being shared on social media. The PIB said that this letter is being spread by Pakistani accounts as part of their false propaganda campaign aimed at spreading misinformation. It urged the people to refrain from sharing unverified information and to rely only on official sources from the Government of India for accurate information.
