Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar, criticized Indian media for what he called massive propaganda surrounding the incident, stating that it seemed as if they were prepared in advance.
He questioned how drone footage could be denied and praised the Pakistan Army for conducting the operation responsibly using technological advancements.
Tarar also condemned Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for allegedly using the tragic incident for political gain, calling it highly unfortunate. He further claimed that PTI, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA), and Indian media were all speaking the same narrative regarding the event.
