Government Establishes Task Force to Combat Malicious Propaganda

Islamabad: The government has announced the formation of a Joint Task Force (JTF) to identify and address individuals, groups, and organizations responsible for spreading malicious propaganda against the state. The initiative aims to counter the dissemination of fake and misleading news that has recently escalated.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, the creation of the JTF follows a series of terrorism and vandalism incidents, coupled with a widespread campaign intended to discredit the state and its security forces. The propaganda has reportedly utilized both domestic and foreign media platforms to circulate fabricated, baseless, and provocative news, accusing state apparatus of serious human rights violations.

The ministry highlighted that the ongoing campaign seeks to provoke a significant law and order crisis and exacerbate provincial and ethnic divisions for specific political interests. The JTF has been tasked with presenting its findings within ten days and ensuring that those identified as responsible are brought to justice promptly.
