On the occasion of Eid, amidst celebrations across Pakistan, there have been reports of certain individuals spreading false and negative narratives against state institutions, particularly in the wake of an incident in Bahawalnagar two days ago.
Bahawalnagar: Citizen reject propaganda against Pakistan Army, Punjab Police. Following the incident, various named and anonymous accounts on social media have been actively engaged in disseminating misinformation aimed at defaming the Pakistan Army and other state institutions.
