Claim: A fake image is circulating on social media, showing a young boy holding a banner with offensive words against Pakistan’s Army Chief, General Asim Munir. Many people are sharing this image, believing it to be real.
Fact: However, investigations by the Fake News Watchdog team have revealed that this image is fake and was altered through editing. The original photo was taken during an @ICC Champions Trophy match, where the boy was actually holding a banner that read: “Save Parachinar #Kurram_Bleeds“. This message was meant to highlight the situation in Parachinar and Kurram and to show support for the affected people.
Some individuals changed the text on the banner and spread the fake version to mislead the public and create controversy. The purpose of spreading this fake image was to fuel misleading propaganda against the Pakistan Army and its leadership. It was a systematic effort to target the military’s reputation and deceive the public through fabricated content.
Conclusion: It has been proven that this edited image was created to spread mistrust among the public and to target military leadership. Therefore, citizens should be vigilant and avoid sharing misinformation without proper verification.
