Islamabad: Indian propaganda X accounts falsely claimed that Pakistani posts in Leepa Valley, Azad Jammu & Kashmir (AJK) were destroyed and that the Pakistan Army was forced to raise white flags to rescue injured soldiers following Indian retaliation.
The claim is misleading and false. The video circulated by these X accounts is old footage from May 9, 2025, recorded at Dharamsala-2 Post in the Battal Sector of Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu & Kashmir (IIOJK). It actually shows Indian troops waving white flags after suffering losses during Operation Sindoor, pleading for a ceasefire from Pakistani forces.
The same footage was first reported by the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) on May 9, 2025 and has since been recycled by Indian propaganda networks on June 7, September 21 and now October 27, with altered captions falsely linking it to new incidents in Leepa Valley.
This seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the Indian public and obscure the embarrassment of Operation Sindoor, highlighting the persistent use of recycled content by disinformation networks.
October 27, Black Day
October 27, 1947, is remembered as the darkest day in the history of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), marking 78 years since India’s illegal occupation of the disputed territory.
Across both sides of the Line of Control, as well as in Pakistan and among the Kashmiri diaspora worldwide, Kashmiris are observing Black Day today to renew their commitment to the struggle for freedom from Indian rule.
On this day in 1947, India forcibly took control of a large part of J&K. Despite decades of Indian occupation, Kashmiris continue their fight for self-determination, facing bullets, repression, and widespread human rights violations. In the last 34 years alone, nearly 100,000 Kashmiris have been killed.
According to United Nations resolutions, Kashmiris have yet to be granted their right to self-determination. The international community is being urged to play a decisive role in ensuring that Kashmiris are given the right to a plebiscite.
Every year, October 27 is observed as Kashmir Black Day around the world to draw attention to India’s aggression and human rights violations. Protests, rallies, and seminars are held to condemn Indian atrocities and highlight the ongoing struggle for freedom.
