If one would think that the screaming drum that was repeated from Indian news room, Karachi – a vibrant metropolis of over 30 million – would have been reduced to nothing but rubble. But like all other lies, deception and shenanigans that originate in the border, this has also been masked as fiction, not fact. Indian Media’s hollow scream about an “attack on Karachi” is another chapter in a tired playbook of fear -monging, spun not for truth, but for optics. Still, Karachi stands high – unbroken, undisturbed and not impressed.

Express Pakinomist has investigated the Indian media fake propaganda about an attack on Karachi and has brought the real situation into the city. In the midst of breathless Indian media reports claiming destruction and emergency in Karachi after a suspected attack, Facts on Earth tells a very different story – one of tranquility, continuity and resilience. The only thing under siege was the truth itself, as Indian anchors panic panic behind study tables, far away from the earth reality.

Business districts are buzzing, streets are jammed with everyday congestion, and commercial life impulses unobstructed over the metropolis. From Keamari to Korangi, Machar Colony to Malir, no traces of disturbance can be found. Public transport runs routinely, shipping is flocking uninhibitedly, and the city’s famous tireless population continues its daily rhythm – completely unaffected by foreign fiction. In a striking VRI, even traffic jams that were once cursed by commuters were now seen as a welcome sign of peace – proof that life in the city of Marsians, loud and proud.

Many votes from all over Karachi have condemned what they call India’s media warning, with the aim of putting his domestic audience with Tales of Manufacted Triumph. “This is nothing but psychological warning,” said Patron-in-Chief of Karachi Traders Alliance Khawaja Jamal Sethi. “Karachi is open. Our markets, our petrol pumps, our lives – everyone acts as usual. India is waging a word war because it can’t win a war of truth.”

President of the Pakistan Transports Transport Alliance Malik Shehzad Awan confirmed that there had been no disturbance in the cargo or commuter movement. “India spins stories, but the world can see that Karachi is neither sleeping nor is scared.”

When he repeated the mood, senior political analyst Zia Abbas, who is clear, “Modi’s government has suffered a military, moral and diplomatic defeat. Now they link to the straws of media war, but Pakistan looks through the facade – and so does the world.”

From minority leaders such as Naveed Bhatti, who confirmed that the city’s various communities feel safe and united, for humanitarian workers such as Chhipas Chaudhry Shahid Hussain, who called Indian claims “pronounces fabrication”.

Sindh’s Minister of Local Government, Saeed Ghani, summarized it as “There is no emergency, no attack and no disturbance. This is Indian propaganda at the worst – and it has failed. Citizens of all religions and communities in the city are united.”
