Extending its propaganda warfare, Pakistan is once again trying to peddle its Kashmir gameplan by coordinating a series of anti-India events on February 5 as Kashmir Solidarity Day.  

Pakistan’s DG South Asia & SAARC has shot a letter to all its foreign missions asking them to widely publicise the Kashmir issue using social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Interestingly, they have not written to its High Commission in Delhi. 

Pakistan has also shared a customised document with the Missions abroad and advised them to reach out to the Pakistani and Kashmiri diaspora. 

On February 5, the Pakistan embassies and high commissions have been asked to organise an anti-India propaganda by undertaking activities like webinars, seminars, exhibitions and screening of documentaries, including outreach to Parliamentarians, think tanks, media outlets, academia, international human rights and civil society.

In the last 10 days, Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations has been creating over 500 new social media accounts every day. Around 10,000 tweets are being posted every day against India and the Indian government. 

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, who is currently in China to attend the opening ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics 2022, has assured that Islamabad will continue to extend all support to Kashmiris while the fact is that the country itself struggling with its weak economy and depleted cash reserves.  

The anti-India propaganda comes at a time when the Pakistan administration is using brute force against the Balochistan activists, who have been fighting for their human rights and making Islamabad bleed. China has been investing heavily through its BRI projects in the Balochistan region which have been opposed by the Baloch. In retaliation, the Balochs -- earlier this week -- stormed two bases of the security forces in Naukshi and Panjgur. Baloch fighters claimed that over 100 Pakistani soldiers have been killed.
