A recent claim by Pakistani journalist Hamid Mir suggesting that posters of Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir have been put up in Srinagar has been found to be completely baseless.
Mir, in a social media post, compared this claim to a similar one from three years ago when Pakistani media reported that posters of former PM Imran Khan and then COAS Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa were displayed in Kashmir on February 5.
However, a ground investigation by our journalists across Srinagar revealed no such posters in any part of the city. Extensive checks in markets, streets, and public spaces confirmed that no images of Shehbaz Sharif or Gen Asim Munir have been put up.
This misinformation appears to be an attempt to create a misleading narrative regarding the situation in Kashmir. It is yet another example of false propaganda aimed at shaping perceptions without factual backing.
We urge readers to verify news from credible sources before believing or sharing such claims.
