Indian Navy Did Not Attack Karachi | Don’t Break Our Credibility for Fake News

As you all know, there’s been a flood of news about rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Educators, social media users, Indian media—everyone’s involved. But unfortunately, some of it is fake. And that’s a real problem.

Take last night, for example. News broke that the Indian Navy attacked Karachi and even shot down a JF-17 Thunder. Some even claimed Pakistan admitted it. But come on—use your brain. Pakistan is a country that didn’t even acknowledge its own soldiers during the Kargil War. We, the Indians, had to collect their bodies and bury them with proper respect. You think a nation like that would admit a jet crash or a strike? That viral video showing a “Pakistani official” confirming the crash? It was AI-generated.

It’s one thing when memers do this for jokes on social media. But when media houses, who we’re supposed to trust, spread such misinformation just for views—it hurts. And it damages India's credibility on the global stage. If this continues, one day when India actually takes a big step, no one will believe it.

We already struggle to get recognition in international media. Take our S-400 system—it’s doing amazing work. But you’ll never hear about that in the US press. Why? Because it doesn’t suit their agenda. So it’s up to Indian media to tell our story. But fake news? That’s not storytelling—that’s self-sabotage.

Let’s look at facts:

• No official confirmation: The Financial Express clearly reported that there’s no word from the Indian government, Ministry of Defence, or the Navy about any Karachi strike.
• Viral video debunked: Alt News analyzed the viral video “from Karachi” and found it’s actually from a plane crash in Philadelphia (Feb 2025).
• Indian Navy activity: Yes, the Navy has stepped up operations. INS Surat test-fired the MRSAM off the Gujarat coast. Exercises are ongoing in the Arabian Sea. But that’s standard practice in high-alert situations—not proof of an attack.

So, what will happen if we keep consuming and spreading fake news? Say tomorrow, the Indian government actually confirms a real attack on Karachi. You’ll be confused—wasn’t that already reported? That’s why we must wait for official confirmation. Trust our military, trust our forces. They act when needed and inform when ready.

Fake news spreads fast, yes. But let’s not behave like monkeys chasing noise. We’re the descendants of Chanakya—strategy, patience, and wisdom define us. Don’t trade credibility for clout.

Jai Hind.
