It further said that the fabricated reports are part of an attempt to gain sympathy and conceal alleged support provided by the Afghan Taliban to militant groups, including โFitna al-Khawarij.โ
The statement emphasized that Pakistanโs military actions are intelligence-based, precise, and targeted only against terrorist elements.
It added that this is a recurring propaganda pattern in which Afghan media allegedly spreads false narratives to protect militant proxies, which are later amplified by Indian media outlets.
The ministry reiterated that such false claims undermine regional peace efforts and are intended to mislead international audiences.
The Ministry has issued a detailed fact-check exposing what it described as a coordinated propaganda campaign by Afghan media regarding alleged attacks in Kunar province.
According to the statement, reports circulating in Afghan media about supposed military operations in the region are false and misleading, and are allegedly being promoted with external backing.
The ministry said the Afghan interim authorities are increasingly relying on misinformation and negative narratives due to failures in governance and public welfare delivery.
It further claimed that the propaganda model being used mirrors tactics learned from Indian disinformation networks, including the spread of fabricated stories and false flag narratives.
The statement termed the allegations as baseless, absurd, and unacceptable, stressing that Pakistan rejects such claims outright.
Referring to โOperation Ghazab lil-Haq,โ the ministry reiterated that Pakistan maintains a clear stance: whenever terrorist hideouts are targeted, operations are conducted transparently and supported by evidence.
It added that actions against terrorist infrastructure and facilitators will continue with proper documentation, reaffirming that there will be no compromise on national security.
