The Government of India on Saturday dismissed the claims that India had attacked the Nankana Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan. The PIB Fact Czech unit said that in a video shared on social media, the claim of a drone attack on Nankhana Sahib Gurdwara is completely fake.
The statement issued by the unit said that such material is being broadcast in India to create communal hatred.
Nankhana Sahib is the birthplace of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism and this gurudwara is a revered pilgrimage and pilgrimage site for Sikhs.
The government also dismissed some social media posts as “fake”, claiming that an Indian pilot landed in Pakistan -occupied Kashmir (POK) from its fighter aircraft and a woman Air Force Pilot was caught in Pakistan.
The government also rejected the claims that India’s power grid has become inactive in the cyber attack by Pakistan, and the Mumbai-Delhi airline route has been temporarily closed. The government said, “These claims are fake.”
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has extended the duration of temporary closing of 25 segments of the Air Traffic Services (ATS) routes within the Delhi and Mumbai flight information areas due to operational reasons.
The government also said that the old video showing Indian soldiers crying was actually the youth of a private defense coaching center, who were celebrating their selection in the army. The PIB Fact Czech unit said that the related video was uploaded on Instagram on 27 April and has no connection with the army.
It said, “The video shows the students of a private defense coaching institute celebrating their selection in the Indian Army. The youth seen in the video allegedly became emotional with the news of their successful recruitment.”
The government also dismissed reports about 10 blasts around Srinagar Airport in a section of foreign media on Friday, as well as dismissed different claims of blasts near Jaipur Airport.
A government official said, “These claims are fake. For authentic information, only trust official sources.”
The PIB Fact Czech unit also said that the claims being made on social media about destroying Indian Army posts are false and the video shared in this regard is 2020. It said, “This video is old and does not belong to any activity after Operation Sindoor. The video was originally uploaded to YouTube on November 15, 2020.”
