Pakistan aired Armed Forces song on Indian YouTube channels after social media ban: Tarar

Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar told the National Assembly that Pakistan is actively countering India's digital aggression and narrative warfare.

He revealed that in response to India blocking Pakistani social media accounts, the government aired a patriotic Armed Forces song on Indian YouTube channels through geotargeted ads and purchased airtime.

Tarar underlined that Pakistan is exposing Indian disinformation at the international level and has already gained the upper hand in the narrative and diplomatic arenas.

He pointed to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's engagement with global leaders as part of Pakistan's outreach efforts.

Reaffirming Pakistan’s unwavering support for the people of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), Tarar called Kashmir the nation’s "jugular vein" and condemned Indian atrocities in the region.

He also reiterated Pakistan's firm stance against terrorism, highlighting the sacrifices made in the fight and presenting evidence of Indian state-sponsored terrorism on Pakistani soil—including the targeted assassinations of Sikhs.

Tarar concluded by warning that any misadventure by the enemy would be met with a forceful response by the Pakistani Armed Forces, leaving a lasting message for future generations.
