An X account operating under the name “Ayesha Ufaq” with the handle @Ufaq_RM is operated by an Indian RAW-backed propaganda network masquerading as a pro-Pakistan voice online.
According to details, the account presents itself as a patriotic Pakistani profile while subtly pushing narratives aimed at spreading confusion, glorifying extremist elements, and influencing public opinion against Pakistan’s national interests.
Screenshots from the account’s profile show the account is “based in South Asia” and connected through a “South Asia Android App.” Critics revealed that older posts and activity patterns show Indian origins despite the account attempting to blend into Pakistani online discourse.
Users described the profile as a “Trojan horse” account designed to gain trust among Pakistani audiences before promoting divisive narratives.
The revelations have triggered calls from users urging others to unfollow and report suspicious accounts allegedly involved in coordinated anti-Pakistan influence campaigns online.
India: fake news master
Spreading fake news, doing propaganda and conducting false flag operations against Pakistan is not a new thing done by India.
Several social media posts from accounts based in India have previously circulated unverified or misleading claims about Pakistan, particularly on sensitive political and security issues.
These claims often gain attention quickly online but are later challenged due to a lack of credible sources or official confirmation.
The latest example involves a post on X (formerly Twitter) alleging that Pakistan and the Afghan Taliban were set to hold talks in Urumqi.
The claim was widely shared but has been described as false, with no confirmation from officials in Pakistan, Afghanistan, or China.
We all have witnessed similar claims, often related to diplomatic meetings, security developments or internal matters.
In many cases, these reports were later found to be inaccurate or taken out of context, highlighting the risks of relying on unverified social media sources.
Ongoing challenge of misinformation
The spread of false or misleading information online continues to pose challenges for audiences trying to follow developments in the region.
Experts say improving media literacy and cross-checking sources can help limit the impact of such claims.
It is in the interest of the users to verify information before sharing it, especially when it concerns regional relations.
The official statements and credible news sources remain the most reliable way to confirm developments.
