Twitter Suspends Pakistan Defence Handle After It Tweets Fake Picture Of Female Delhi University Activist
Team Republic | 19-11-2017 12:39 pm
Hack:
- Twitter suspended Pakistan Defence's verified handle.
- The handle used a fake picture of an Indian student activist.
- Earlier in September, Pakistan's envoy used a fake picture to establish a false narrative at the UN.
Twitter, on Saturday, suspended Pakistan Defence's verified handle after they used a fake picture of an Indian student activist.
Pakistan Defence handle tweeted a modified picture of Delhi University student activist Kawalpreet Kaur standing in front of a mosque. In the modified photograph, the girl’s placard read, "I am an Indian, but I hate India, because India is a colonial nation that has occupied nations such as Nagas, Kashmiris, Manipuris, Hyderabad, Junagard, Sikkim, Mizoram, Goa."
However, in the original picture, the girl’s placard read, “I am a citizen of India and I stand with secular values of our Constitution. I will write against communal mob lynching of Muslims in our country #CitizensAgainstMobLynching."
And, Pakistan Defence handle tweeted the morphed image with a caption, saying, “Indians are finally realizing the truth; their country is actually a colonialist entity."
Pakistan's defence handle
@defencepk, however, deleted the picture some time later.
Kawalpreet Kaur, later tweeted thanking everyone who reported the morphed image and said the message in her original picture "shouldn't be lost in these dark times."
Earlier, in another faux pas, Pakistan used a fake picture to establish a false narrative. Pakistan's Ambassador to the United Nations Maleeha Lodhi, in her right to reply to External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj's speech at the UN, showed pictures of Palestinian victims and tried to pass them off as 'evidence' of atrocities on Kashmiris.
The picture, used by Pakistan's Ambassador to the UN, was reported by a number of media outlets as that of Rawia Abu Joma'a, a 17-year-old girl injured in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza city in 2014. Rawia's picture was taken by award winning photographer Heidi Levine.
