PIB Debunks Fake Videos of Army Chief and President
Some people in Pakistan made fake videos of important leaders in India.
One video showed the Army Chief talking about a man named Sonam Wangchuk, but he never said those things.
Another video showed the President talking about problems in India, but she never said that either.
The Indian government's fact-checking team said these videos are fake and asked people to be careful and only believe official information.
They also shared the real videos so everyone can see the truth.
Pakistani propaganda accounts shared digitally altered videos of Indian Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi and President Droupadi Murmu.
The videos falsely claimed the Army Chief spoke about the custodial death of climate activist Sonam Wangchuk.
PIB's fact-checking unit confirmed the videos are fake and that the President made no such remarks.
PIB urged people to be cautious and rely only on official and credible sources for accurate information.
The original speech by the President was from the Constitution Day programme at the Central Hall of the old Parliament building.
