In an abortive attempt to create diversion from Narendra Modi’s human rights abuses in Kashmir, the Indian media went berserk by propagating fake news about a “civil war” like situation in Karachi, triggering a hilarious response from the twitterati in Pakistan, who enjoyed every bit of the ridiculous reports.

#CivilWarInPakistan and #KarachiCivilWar were in no time the top trends, with the young twitter users going crazy by posting video clips from action movies, comics, images of the Indian MiG pilot Abhinandan Varthaman, shot down by Pakistan Air Force inside Pakistan’s territory, as scenes from the Civil War, getting an equally enthusiastic response with numerous retweets and likes.

The arrest of PML-N leader Captain (Retd) Safdar on charges of political sloganeering at Quaid’s Mausoleum and leave applications by senior police officers was exploited by the top Indian news channels, who portrayed an administrative issue as a “civil war” and went to the extent of even reporting casualties, and armed clashes.

The news reports were part of a persistent barrage of fake news from Indian mainstream media and its RAW controlled assets on social media over the past few months. The trend has witnessed a sharp spike as part of India’s fifth generation war (5GW) against Pakistan.

Pakistan’s Foreign Office on the “malicious and fabricated propaganda” by Indian mainstream and social media claiming civil unrest in Pakistan, said planting such baseless stories were reflective of the “Pakistan-obsessed BJP-RSS” mindset.

“Needless to say that Indian media continues to hit new lows,” he said, when asked to respond over the series of fake news flashed as breaking news across the Indian media about a “civil war in Pakistan”.

The Spokesperson said through “peddling fake news and running propaganda machinery”, India could not wash away the truth about its own gross and systematic human rights violations in Indian Ilelgally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).

“Rather than reporting on humanitarian crisis in IIOJK, the Indian media chooses to spread fake and sensational news about Pakistan to detract from core issues,” he said.

The Indian media tried hard to appease its own consumers and to create a diversion from its human rights abuses in occupied Kashmir. However in its abortive attempt it created history by churning out fake news overpowered by the anti-Pakistan hysteria, undermining its professional ethics and credibility.

The unleashing of the Indian media did not go unnoticed, as Michael Kugelman, deputy director at the @AsiaProgram and South Asia senior associate @TheWilsonCenter in a tweet pointed that the Indian disinformation accounts were exploiting Pakistan’s current political crisis, and “falsely claiming that the country is no experiencing urban warfare.”

He described the trend as “dangerous and disturbing”, as several of these accounts were verified and had huge followings.

Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said the Indian media was in “hyper drive with fake news on Pakistan” and regretted that it was “unfortunate that Twitter is [deliberately ignoring it].”

All major media outlets in so-called world’s biggest democracy decimated all journalistic norms as none bothered to fact-check such a huge gaffe. India’s News18, India Today, Zee News, India.com and several others quoted the International Herald which showed old videos of bomb explosions in Pakistan and portrayed it as the ongoing civil war.

The Institute of Policy Research in a report said their data indicates a pattern of Indian propaganda against Pakistan on digital media that grew exponentially after 2018 General Elections in #Pakistan. The propaganda hovers around largely 4 key themes.

Minister for Ports and Shipping pointed that the Indian propaganda was at its peak and “sadly fueled by the PDM Circus.” He said the food inflation was artificially manufactured, but was being brought under control.

Minister for Kashmir Affairs also lambasted the “fake, fabricated and malicious propaganda campaign to malign State institutions of Pakistan. He urged @Twitter to take action against Indian accounts for #FakeNews against Paksitan.

However, this idiocy of Indian media gave the Twitterati a perfect chance to enjoy as the microblogging site was flooded with messages to ridicule the Indian media’s insanity.

“Karachi civil war has gotten so bad that my food panda delivery boy had to crawl through mine fields carrying his AK47, RPG & 9mm along with my nihari and Biryani. This thing is getting so serious. Multiple cows have been killed & people are dying of over eating. #IndianMedia,” commented renowned singer Fakhr-e-Alam.

Besides numerous other fake photos, the Indian media also used an image of a building collapsed following a gas leakage blast in Karachi earlier in the day to substantiate its fake news of civil war.

“A little investigation would have informed Zee News that it wasn’t a bomb blast in ‘civil war’ in Pakistan but the result of a  gas leak in Karachi. Whither truth, objectivity, balance and fairness in reporting?,” said Farhatullah Babr, former senator of Pakistan Peoples Party which rules Sindh province.

“An Aircraft shot during civil war in Karachi… and the pilot captured…,” commented another Twitter user Fasihuddin while sharing the images of Indian aircraft MiG-21 and captured injured pilot Abhinandan following an aerial dogfight during India-Pakistan standoff in 2019.

UN chief warns ‘law of the jungle’ is replacing rule of law

UNITED NATIONS, Jan 26 (APP): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the global order is eroding as the rule of law gives way to what he called “the law of the jungle”, as he urged world powers to recommit to international law as the foundation of peace, justice and multilateral cooperation.

He was addressing a high-level open debate of the UN Security Council convened by Somalia, which holds the Council presidency for January.

The discussion comes as conflicts multiply, global tensions rise, and confidence in international institutions and rules is fading – even as the UN marks 80 years since the adoption of its founding Charter, which set out principles meant to prevent wars and reduce suffering.

“The rule of law is a cornerstone of global peace and security,” Guterres said, calling it “the beating heart” of the UN Charter.

For eight decades, he said, the Charter, alongside the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions and other core legal instruments, has helped humanity avoid another world war and limit the toll of countless conflicts.

But the Secretary-General warned that commitments to international law are increasingly being ignored.

“Around the world, the rule of law is being replaced by the law of the jungle,” he said, pointing to what he described as flagrant violations of the UN Charter and international law, including the illegal use of force, attacks on civilian infrastructure, human rights abuses and the denial of life-saving humanitarian aid.

From Gaza to Ukraine and beyond, he said, the rule of law is being treated as “an à la carte menu,” with States choosing which rules to follow. Such violations, he warned, set dangerous precedents, encourage impunity and erode trust among nations.

For smaller and less-powerful countries, particularly those affected by historical inequities and the legacies of colonialism, international law is “a lifeline promising equal treatment, sovereignty, dignity and justice,” Guterres said.

“For powerful countries, it is a guardrail defining what is acceptable – and what is not, in times of disagreement, division and outright conflict,” he added.

He underscored the unique responsibility of the Security Council, the only body with Charter-mandated authority to adopt decisions binding on all Member States and to authorize the use of force under international law.

“Its responsibility is singular. Its obligation is universal,” he said.

Looking ahead, the UN chief outlined three priority areas for action.

First, he urged countries to honour the commitments they made under the Charter, including settling disputes peacefully, safeguarding human rights and respecting the sovereign equality of States.

Second, he called for the use of peaceful tools to settle disputes – negotiation, mediation and judicial settlement, alongside stronger partnerships with regional organizations – and more investment in development to address the root causes of inequality and exclusion.

Third, he stressed the need for fair, independent judicial proceedings. He encouraged greater reliance on independent courts and tribunals, including the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and stronger support for international criminal justice.

“There can be no sustainable or just peace without accountability,” Guterres said. “The rule of law must prevail.”

SBP keeps policy rate unchanged at 10.5%, lowers CRR for banks: Governor SBP

KARACHI, Jan 26 (APP): To ensure price stability and support sustainable economic growth, State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) kept the policy rate unchanged at 10.5 percent owing to rising inflation expectations and widening trade gap and current account deficit.

The Governor SBP, Jameel Ahmad, Monday addressing a press conference along with Deputy Governors of the central bank, announced the decision of the Monetary Policy Committee as well as projections for growth, inflation outlook, current account situation and other key economic indicators. He also announced reduction in the Cash Reserve Requirements of the banks.

Highlighting the reasons to maintain the policy rate at 10.5%, he stated that stickiness in Core Inflation and forward looking outlook indicate an uptick in inflation in coming months but those will reverse shortly. Though trends in remittances remained encouraging and supportive to the external account, a rise has been witnessed in imports while exports decreased during the first half of FY26, he added.

On the other hand, the positive impacts of the significant monetary ease given in previous years have started surfacing now and growth is picking up, Jameel Ahmed said and added that rise in high frequency indicators and growth in large scale manufacturing is being supported by improved prospectus of services and agriculture sectors in the current financial year.

The central bank has upgraded its GDP Growth outlook for FY26 by 0.5% to a range between 3.75% – 4.75% and even its lower range i.e 3.75% is better than average annual growth of the previous 30 years, he said and added that inflation is projected to remain in range of 5 – 7%, current account at 0 to 1% during FY26.

The continued measures by SBP and the government had helped overcoming the volatility in reserves and liquid foreign exchange reserves witness significant increase despite loan repayments, he noted, adding that the SBP reserves currently standing at $16 billion will cross $ 18 billion by end of FY26 and may touch the 20 billion mark by end of the calendar year 2026.

The SBP Governor said that Pakistan has successfully managed its debt and liabilities during the previous and ongoing fiscal year while no increase has been noted in the external debt since four years as it is maintained at $100 billion from the year 2022 despite acquiring new loans.

However, a positive shift has been made in the composition of loans by increasing the ratio of long term and bilateral loans, he explained, adding that Pakistan’s loan repayment capability has enhanced and international credit ratings improved. Besides, we have built up our exchange reserves through domestic buying which helped us repay loans, he added.

Pakistan had to settle $25.7 billion external debt in FY26 and out of them $ 7 billion have been rolled over and $ 5.7 billion repaid and we are confident to manage the remaining roll over, refinancing and repayment arrangements, he stated.

The governor also announced that SBP has decided to lower the Cash Reserve Requirements from the current fortnightly and daily Cash Reserve Requirements for the banks from 6% to 5% and 4% to 3% respectively. This step will improve the credit lending capabilities of the banks and facilitate the private sector.

Responding to a query about issuance of new design currency notes, he informed that SBP, after working on recommendations of the cabinet committee, has resubmitted the designs of various denominations of currency notes. As soon as the central bank gets the approval, it will start the processes of printing and issuance in a planned manner.
