LAHORE: As Indian media goes berserk amid spewing fake news against Pakistani security forces, a former general of the Indian army got ridiculed on microblogging platform as he referred to Pakistani superstar Shaan Shahid and rockstar Umair Jaswal as martyred Pakistani Army troops who lost their lives during fighting against Northern Alliance in now fallen Afghanistan’s Panjshir valley.
The nefarious attempt to malign Pakistani security forces got debunked when several Indian-backed Twitter handles including former Indian general and fireband defense analyst shared a tweet about the alleged killing of Pakistani soldiers in Afghanistan.
Pak Army (SSG)has suffered very hy cas in Panjshir. killed – 07 officers, 12 JCOs ,75 OR &wounded 05offrs ,09 JCOs 160 OR. peshawar, swat and Quetta MHs overflowing.Maj Gen Adil Rehmani has come back to organise discreet funerals in dead of Night- like in kargil. like thieves

Social media trolls had their field day as a user shared a picture of Pakistani actors from Yalgar movie claiming they were his class fellows and got martyred in Afghanistan’s Panjshir against retaliation from the Northern Alliance.
The user that goes by the name of Disgruntled Doc added that the deceased was buried yesterday in Peshawar and Pakistan’s military media wing is trying to cover these casualties despite the troops fought gallantly and should be honored as such. He termed the act as injustice by Pakistan Army.
My class fellow from school days Maj Aijaj 2nd from left and Capt Jufar 1st from left embraced martyrdom in Panjshir. They were buried yesterday in Peshawar. ISPR is trying to hide these casualties. They fought bravely and should be honoured as such. This is injustice by Pak Army pic.twitter.com/sOx16xpAol

Thinking the user was being serious, another Indian army general retweeted the picture, asserting how Pakistan had “disowned its dead” and buried them at night to “avoid publicity”.
Retired major general of the Indian army Harsha Kakar took to Twitter and shared the picture by fuelling his best in maligning Pakistan Army. Without investigating the truth behind the picture, he shared in frenzy stating “Pakistan had disowned its dead and buried them at night to avoid publicity”.
This is the truth on #PanjshirValley and Pak casualties. As expected @YusufMoeed lied and Pak disowned its dead. This shameful nation with a shameful leadership refuses to honour its dead. Instead buries them at night to avoid publicity. Nothing can be more degrading for soldiers pic.twitter.com/OlANAWJ0a5

The social media users go bananas on the tweet from the Indian general following which Pakistani superstar Shaan also took to his official handle to clap back at Indians. The Waar actor shared a snap of his character as well as the poster of the film. “Hello from the other side. Pakistan Zindabad”, he captioned the post.
Musician turned actor Umair Jaswal also took to his Twitter where he trolled the Indian general in a befitting manner.
Hello dear 😂 @GeneralBakshi @dpkpillay12
From Pakistan ❤ pic.twitter.com/Vvl5TItQBv— Umair Jaswal (@umairjaswal) September 11, 2021
The trolling didn’t end there as a number of Pakistani social media users took to Twitter to shame Indian army generals who along with fake Indian media are busy in spreading baseless and mischievous propaganda campaigns against Pakistan.

Pakistan was about to take panjshir but then this unfortunate incident happened when few indian soldiers tied a rope with a stone and threw it above the sky and successful operation was conducted by maj. Shiv Shastri. They now captured Pakistani F-16 , here is the photo evidence pic.twitter.com/g6k7OUdKbV

Captain Saad was my classmate in college, his wife is also a doctor in Army. He got martyred in Panjshir but Army is showing his death as a car accident. He deserves better than this for sacrificing his life for Pakistan. pic.twitter.com/5r1SGtpKFE

Earlier, Social media mocked and ridiculed fake Indian media after Republic TV and Zee Hindustan used footage from a military tactical video game Arma-3 while the hilarious report claiming that it was the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) who attacked the anti-Taliban fighters in Panjshir Valley.
