“Misinformation campaign” Col Sofiya Qureshi rebuts Pak's ‘lies’ on attacking Indian defence systems

May 10, 2025

New Delhi, May 10, 2025 (ANI): In a strong rebuttal to Pakistan, Indian Army Colonel Sofiya Qureshi dismissed Islamabad's claims of successful strikes on key Indian military assets as entirely false and part of a coordinated misinformation campaign. Denouncing Pakistan's statements about damage to India's S400 and BrahMos bases, as well as alleged hits on airfields and ammunition depots, Qureshi made it clear that no such damage occurred. She also condemned Pakistan's baseless accusations regarding harm to religious sites, reaffirming that India is a secular nation and that its army upholds the constitutional values of inclusivity and integrity. Addressing a press briefing on Saturday, Qureshi said, "Pakistan claimed that it damaged our S400 and Brahmos missile base with its JF 17, which is completely wrong. Secondly, it also ran a misinformation campaign that our airfields in Sirsa, Jammu, Pathankot, Bhatinda, Nalia and Bhuj were damaged, and its misinformation is also completely wrong."
