Islamabad: Pakistani social media users have exposed anti-Pakistan false propaganda by Sky News. Following intense pressure from Pakistani users on social media, Sky News was compelled to delete its post on X. The broadcaster had falsely claimed that Afghanistan’s Air Force had carried out strikes against Pakistan.
According to Radio Pakistan, thousands of Pakistani users reacted strongly, pointing out that Afghanistan currently does not have an operational Air Force. The broadcaster has previously been exposed for spreading anti-Pakistan and anti-armed forces narratives.
Social media users also highlighted that Afghan-origin anchor Yalda Hakim has long been involved in Pakistan-related biased reporting. The incident has raised serious questions on social media about Sky News’ journalistic standards.
