Claim:

A video clip is circulating on multiple Indian social media accounts with the claim that: “A Pakistani army officer was caught on camera crying after refusing to take part in a war against India, but General Asim Munir forced Pakistani soldiers to go to war.” Additionally, it is being alleged that the officer accused the

@GovtofPakistan and General Asim Munir of corruption and refused to participate in any military action. This video has surfaced at a time when tensions between Pakistan and India have escalated following the Pahalgam incident. Social media is witnessing a rise in provocative content and war rhetoric. Indian accounts are portraying the clip as a sign of weakness within the Pakistani military and a lack of trust in its leadership.

Fact-Check:

However, upon investigation by our team, it was revealed that the claim is entirely false. The video in question is from September 2024 and does indeed feature a Pakistani soldier, but the context is completely different and unrelated to any military or political issue. In reality, the soldier was taking his first-ever flight. During the journey, the aircraft experienced turbulence due to air pockets. Slightly startled by the sudden jolts, he reacted with a mix of nervousness and laughter, sharing the moment with a fellow comrade seated beside him. This clip shows a natural reaction to the situation, with no signs of crying, no mention of war and no political or critical statements.

Conclusion:

This video showcases a lighthearted moment, which has been intentionally misrepresented by Indian social media for anti-Pakistan propaganda. Therefore, we urge the public not to share any such videos or claims without proper verification and to act responsibly on social media. If you come across such misleading or fake content from any Indian account, please report it to our Fake News Watchdog Team so the matter can be investigated and responded to with facts in a timely and effective manner. #PahalgamAttack #IndiaPakistanTensions #PakArmyOfficer #refusedtofight #videoviral #FalseClaim #AntiPakistanPropaganda #FakeNews
