Imran Khan's Sister Accuses Pak Army of Hiding Defeat in Operation Sindoor
Noreen Niazi, the sister of former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, said in an interview that the Pakistani military lied about the outcome of a recent conflict with India called Operation Sindoor.
She claimed that India actually won, and the Pakistani military is trying to hide this fact.
Niazi also said that the US and Israel were involved in some way, but she didn't provide any proof.
The Pakistani government is upset about her comments and has asked her to explain them.
Some people in the government say her comments are not good for Pakistan.
The conflict lasted four days, and the Pakistani military called it 'Maarka-e-Haq'.
The Abraham Accords are agreements between Israel and some Arab countries, and Pakistan is not part of them.
Noreen Niazi, sister of jailed former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan, accused the Pakistani military of fabricating a 'victory narrative' around India's Operation Sindoor.
Niazi claimed that India's Operation Sindoor was a massive success and that the Pakistan Army is trying to hide its defeat.
The Pakistani establishment has summoned Niazi over alleged dissemination of 'false, offensive and inflammatory' social media content.
Niazi alleged that India held back from further escalation due to a 'tacit understanding' linked to Israel, aiming to facilitate Pakistan's entry into the Abraham Accords.
Niazi also claimed that US President Donald Trump personally intervened to provide a face-saving exit for the Pakistani leadership.
