Pakistani security sources have strongly rejected allegations circulating in sections of the Indian media following a firing incident in Kulgam, Indian-administered Kashmir, describing the claims against Pakistan as baseless and misleading.
According to reports, three Indian security personnel were injured in a firing incident in Kulgam on November 12. Following the incident, some Indian media outlets reportedly attempted to link Pakistan to the attack.
Pakistani security sources dismissed these allegations, maintaining that no credible evidence had been presented to establish Pakistan’s involvement.
The sources claimed that accusations against Pakistan initially appeared on social media before being repeated by Indian television channels.
They further alleged that certain Indian media organisations were following a familiar pattern of blaming Pakistan after security incidents without providing sufficient supporting evidence.
Pakistani security sources also accused India of using what they described as false-flag tactics to create an anti-Pakistan narrative.
According to the sources, such allegations are intended to divert public attention from domestic political disagreements and internal challenges within India.
They claimed that the same media outlets and commentators were repeatedly being used to promote allegations against Pakistan.
The latest controversy follows the November 12 firing incident in Kulgam, in which three Indian personnel were reportedly injured.
While Pakistani security sources have categorically rejected the accusations, the circumstances surrounding the incident and responsibility for the firing have not been independently established.
The incident has once again brought attention to competing narratives and media reporting surrounding security developments in Kashmir.
