Surgical Strike and Air Strike are two words pretty common nowadays in India after two of them conducted against Pakistan. These are very sensitive words and must be used carefully. But, as usual, Indian Media isn’t responsible. Yesterday evening, a news channel was broadcasting a report of an air strike in PoK.
Not only this, the number of journalists posted on Twitter. And named it as India’s largest-ever airstrike in PoK.
BIG BREAKING @adgpi @IAF_MCC ๐ฎ๐ณ carrying pin point attack on terror launch pad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir.

And after multiple media representatives posted about the air strike in PoK, the Indian army was forced to come up with a statement. Indian Army has denied any action taken from their side and has said it to be fake news.

Meanwhile, after the news broke out, Twitter saw trending #AirStrikeInPOK and netizens are up with memes and are trolling the Indian journalist and level of journalism. A regular affair now.
