In Hyderabad, India, a grave has been discovered, which the propaganda machinery of the Modi government has utilized over the past few days to disseminate false information regarding Pakistan. Why does India always do propaganda against Pakistan? Why now, just before the start of SCO, India is spreading Islamophobia and Indian Godi media spewing hate? SCO stands for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. It is a political, economic, and security alliance comprising eight member states, including China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The organization was established in 2001 with the aim of promoting regional cooperation and stability.
According to reports from various news agencies and portals, it has been claimed that parents in Pakistan are preventing the rape of their daughters by locking their graves. These reports seem to have originated from a tweet by Harris Sultan, a former Muslim turned atheist and author of the book ‘The Curse of God: Why I Left Islam’.
What action is Pakistan going to take against the citizens that spread Islamophobia? Have news agencies and channels attempted to verify the authenticity of this “news” by checking if it was reported by local channels or any credible sources? Have they investigated the location of the alleged incident and interviewed the parents involved? It seems not. Instead, their articles seem to have relied solely on a tweet posted by Harris Sultan on Wednesday, April 26th.
By conducting a keyword search in Urdu, I was able to discover several Facebook posts from Tuesday, April 25th. However, none of these posts made any mention of rape. It appears that the narrative regarding rape emerged at a later time.
