BBC exposes India’s fake media outlets that discredit Pakistan
ISLAMABAD: A dead professor and numerous defunct organisations were resurrected and used alongside at least 750 fake media outlets in a vast 15-year global disinformation campaign to serve Indian interests, a new investigation has revealed. The man whose identity was stolen was regarded as one of the founding fathers of international human rights law, who died aged 92 in 2006. It is the largest network we have exposed, said Alexandre Alaphilippe, executive director of EU DisinfoLab, which undertook the investigation and published an extensive report on Wednesday, BBC reported.

“It is the largest network we have exposed,” said Alexandre Alaphilippe, executive director of EU DisinfoLab, which undertook the investigation and published an extensive report on Wednesday, BBC reported.
The network was designed primarily to “discredit Pakistan internationally” and influence decision-making at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) and European Parliament, EU DisinfoLab said. EU DisinfoLab partially exposed the network last year but now says the operation is much larger and more resilient than it first suspected.

An investigation by EU Disinfo Lab has made some startling revelations about how multiple media outlets, think tanks and non-government organisations (NGO) are surreptitiously pushing a pro-India agenda at various international fora including the United Nations (UN) as well as in the European Union (EU). Much of the content created and spread via the elaborate set-up unearthed by the investigators aimed at discrediting Pakistan, in a bid to further Indian interests.
