In a significant development, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has organised guided tours for international and local journalists to the Line of Control (LoC) with India on May 3 and May 4.
The purpose behind taking international media to the LoC is to expose India’s baseless and fabricated propaganda about alleged “terror camps” in Pakistan.
India keeps spreading propaganda regarding so-called and imaginary “terrorist camps” in Pakistan.
Since the Pahalgam attack, India has repeatedly made baseless and false claims regarding alleged terrorist hideouts along the LoC.
“The media will be taken to the places that India has presented as terrorist camps,” read the press release by the Ministry of Information.
