Islamabad: The proscribed Action Committee in Azad Jammu and Kashmir has resorted to negative propaganda on social media following declining public interest and a loss of credibility.
According to Radio Pakistan, a spokesperson for the Inspector General of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Police stated that individuals associated with the banned organization are propagating false claims about a police attack and firing during the Rawalakot protest.
Rejecting these allegations, the spokesperson described the campaign as misleading, emphasizing that no action was taken against the Eidgah sit-in. They explained that a coordinated effort on social media is spreading unfounded claims of attacks, shelling, and firing by law enforcement agencies using old videos. These videos are being circulated to incite panic among the public and undermine confidence in law enforcement agencies.
The spokesperson stressed that the malicious intentions of these disruptive elements would not prevail. They urged peace-loving citizens and social media users to verify the authenticity of any news or video before sharing it and to rely only on credible sources to avoid participating in any misleading, hateful, or provocative campaign.
The spokesperson reiterated that the police respect the constitutional and legal rights of every citizen and act according to the law. They highlighted that the police's primary focus is on maintaining peace, upholding the rule of law, and ensuring public protection.
