In its media briefing, the DG ISPR of Pakistan, Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, used a small part of a full video clip of Aaj Tak News Channel to claim that an Indian airfield had been destroyed. PIB stated, “This is an attempt by #Pakistan to mislead its own people by producing doctored footage as evidence. The actual story in the full video shows the news channel was talking about the destruction of a Pakistani airfield by Indian forces.”
