A sinister conspiracy involving India, Israel, and the Afghan Taliban is being executed through the use of quadcopters to drop explosive munitions on civilian areas, followed by a coordinated social media campaign aimed at falsely maligning Pakistan’s security forces. The objective is calculated and clear, to stage incidents, distort facts, and run a shameless propaganda drive to discredit Pakistan’s security institutions.
Recent incidents in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Bannu, North Waziristan, Kurram, and South Waziristan, as well as in Awaran district of Balochistan, point towards the same nexus. The intent behind these acts is not only physical harm but reputational sabotage, designed to shape national and international opinion against Pakistan’s security forces.
Mainstream media outlets, particularly social media platforms, are being weaponized through networks operating from Afghanistan and other parts of the world. Media outlets and social media accounts linked to India’s intelligence agency RAW move swiftly after every such incident, immediately placing blame on Pakistan and its security and intelligence agencies without evidence or verification. The Delhi Metro gas cylinder explosion is the latest example of this pattern of narrative manipulation.
Yet, in a moment of poetic irony, these schemes have backfired. As the verse goes, the hunter has fallen into his own trap. These crude tactics have instead exposed the real faces behind the campaign. Alongside India and Israel, banned outfits such as the TTP and other terrorist organisations, as well as the interim rulers of a neighbouring so-called brotherly Islamic country, now stand unmasked before the world.
Adding to this irony is the sheer recklessness of these terrorists, whom the State of Pakistan has already designated as Khawarij. By releasing drone operation footage on social media, they inadvertently provided irrefutable evidence against themselves. There can hardly be a louder or clearer confession.
As for Pakistan’s diverse communities and minorities, no amount of propaganda by these two long-standing adversaries, or by their misguided Afghan collaborators, can alter ground realities. The people of Pakistan, particularly the resilient tribes of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan who have suffered most from sponsored terrorism, have seen through these plots. They understand the conspiracies, recognise their architects, and know how to defeat them. This is not a claim but a ground reality, one testified to by history and one that history will continue to affirm.
