Indian media confuses Pulwama attack ‘conspirator’ with Lal masjid cleric
In a comedy of errors, the Indian media in its usual rhetoric to blame Pakistan for the Pulwama attack linked late Lal Masjid cleric Abdul Rasheed Ghazi to the February 14 suicide bombing which killed 44 paramilitary forces.
It’s important to note that, Rasheed was killed in 2007 during the Lal Masjid operation launched by then president Pervez Musharraf.
Reacting on the Indian media’s gaffe, Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari wrote on Twitter, saying: “Indian media really needs to do some fact checking even when they are indulging in blame game propaganda.”
Indian media really needs to do some fact checking even when they are indulging in blame game propaganda. This man lies buried in Roshan, distt Rajanpur since over a decade!

On February 14, a suicide car bomber rammed a bus carrying troopers belonging to Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) in the deadliest attack on Indian occupying forces there since 2002.
According to Reuters’ report, Adil Ahmad Dar, 20, from the village of Lethipora in occupied Kashmir, rammed a car full of explosives into the convoy.
“We are in pain in the same way the families of the soldiers are,” said farmer Ghulam Hassan Dar, adding that his son had been radicalised after police stopped him and his friends on the way home from school in 2016.
