The Indian Army’s Fact Check unit refuted false allegations circulating on Pakistan-based social media claiming military deployment against student protesters in New Delhi. The Army clarified that the protests are being managed by Delhi Police and other law enforcement units, with no Army involvement. The debunked claims aimed to create panic and tarnish the Indian Army’s reputation.
Exposing the disinformation pattern, the Army highlighted the fabricated narrative of civilian protests, false Army deployment, and armed action allegations by propaganda handles. The Army urged the public to verify facts before sharing such misleading narratives. The clarification came amidst student protests near Parliament and mild police intervention to maintain security.
Representatives of the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) met Union Minister JP Nadda with their demands after attempting to march towards Parliament. CJP spokespersons presented three demands while being urged to end the sit-in protest for normalcy. Delhi Police also appealed for peaceful demonstrations and cautioned against rumors, emphasizing verified information.
Additional Police Commissioner Rajiv Ranjan urged protesters to cooperate with law enforcement, maintain peace, and follow instructions to ensure peaceful demonstrations. The police emphasized the importance of peaceful conduct and compliance with authorities to uphold law and order.
