Pakistan awarded top honors to media figures later linked to a disinformation campaign during a military standoff, sparking backlash over fake news and compromised journalism.
Pakistan awarded top civilian honors to media figures Qamar Cheema and Wajahat Kazmi for their roles during the recent Indo-Pak military standoff, citing exceptional media contributions.
However, a DFRAC investigation found both were central to a disinformation campaign, spreading false claims about Indian military losses and promoting AI-generated or video game footage as real combat footage.
Cheema shared fabricated reports and hosted a U.S.-designated militant-linked figure, while Kazmi amplified misleading narratives and faced past sexual harassment allegations.
