NEW DELHI: The Indian Embassy in Beijing has strongly cautioned China’s state-run Global Times over spreading unverified claims on Indian military operations, urging the outlet to verify facts before posting on social media.“Dear @globaltimesnews, we would recommend you verify your facts and cross-examine your sources before pushing out this kind of disinformation,” the Embassy said in a post on X, responding to the tabloid’s coverage of Indian military strikes allegedly targeting Pakistan’s terror infrastructure during the ongoing #OperationSindoor.In a follow-up post, the Embassy added, “Several pro-Pakistan handles are spreading baseless claims in the context of #OperationSindoor, attempting to mislead the public. When media outlets share such information without verifying sources, it reflects a serious lapse in responsibility and journalistic ethics.”The Embassy’s remarks came amid viral posts from Pakistani accounts and some media suggesting that an Indian Rafale jet had been shot down near Bahawalpur. However, the PIB Fact Check team flagged one such viral image as misleading, noting it was from a 2021 crash involving a MiG-21 in Punjab’s Moga district.“Beware of old images shared by pro-Pakistan handles in the present context,” the PIB warned in its own post.
