India Slams China for Supporting Pakistan During Operation Sindoor as Deepfake Propaganda Surfaces
India delivered a powerful diplomatic rebuke to China this Tuesday following reports that Beijing provided technical assistance to Pakistan during Operation Sindoor. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) asserted that global powers backing “terrorist infrastructure” must seriously consider the long-term damage to their international reputation. This development comes just days after the one-year anniversary of the 88-hour military masterclass that redefined South Asian engagement.
The confrontation follows the May 2025 engagement, which was a direct response to the tragic April 2025 terror attacks in Pahalgam. As New Delhi marks the success of the mission, a fresh wave of Pakistani disinformation—including a highly sophisticated deepfake of the MEA spokesperson—has been identified and debunked by Indian authorities.
MEA Tells China to Reflect on Global Reputation
During a press briefing on Tuesday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal addressed corroborated reports regarding China’s role in assisting Islamabad during the 2025 conflict. The spokesperson framed the situation as a test of international responsibility.
- Jaiswal stated that responsible nations must reflect on whether protecting terror assets affects their global standing.
- He described Operation Sindoor as a “precise, targeted, and calibrated response” to state-sponsored threats.
- The operation was necessitated by the April 22, 2025, attack in Pahalgam where 26 civilians were killed.
- India’s stance remains focused on a zero-tolerance policy toward cross-border terrorism.
- The MEA emphasized that the international community is closely watching the alignments of major powers.
- The military action was characterized as a multi-domain strike that lasted exactly 88 hours.
PIB Debunks Deepfake Video Targeting Indian Military
The anniversary of Operation Sindoor has triggered an escalation in cross-border psychological operations. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check Unit has raised an alarm over a digitally manipulated video circulating on social media.
- The fraudulent video uses AI to mimic MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal’s likeness.
- It falsely claims India lost four Rafale jets and planned to stop water flow to Pakistan.
- The PIB has officially declared the footage “fake and digitally manipulated”.
- Authorities clarified that the MEA spokesperson never made the statements depicted in the clip.
- Original, authentic footage has been released by the government for public verification.
- Officials warned that deepfake technology is increasingly being used in orchestrated propaganda campaigns.
The Legacy of Operation Sindoor One Year Later
Operation Sindoor, which concluded on May 7, 2025, is now viewed as a landmark in modern military history. Initiated to destroy infrastructure operating at Pakistan’s behest, the strike utilized surgical precision across multiple domains.
One year later, the mission is celebrated in India as a decisive shift in rules of engagement, proving the nation’s capability to respond to “faith-based targeting” of its citizens with overwhelming technical and tactical superiority.
Government Issues Warning Against Disinformation
In light of the viral deepfake, the Indian government has urged the public to remain vigilant. The Fact Check Unit recommended that citizens only verify information through official government portals.
This move highlights the growing challenge of “deepfake diplomacy” and the need for transparency in the face of foreign propaganda aimed at tarnishing India’s military excellence.
