Pakistan News Channel Uses Gaurav Gogoi’s Byte To Defend Stand On Pahalgam

New Delhi: A Pakistani news channel has utilised a statement from Congress MP Gaurav Gogoi to justify Pakistan's stance on the recent Pahalgam terror attack. The attack, which resulted in the deaths of 26 people, exposed Pakistan on the global platform for rejuvenating and harbouring terrorism. Meanwhile, Gogoi's remarks, made on the Pahalgam terror attack, questioning Defence Minister Rajnath Singh over the five terrorists, who carried out the attack, have been seized upon by Pakistani media outlets. 

After the reports of the Pakistani news channel's decision to use Gogoi's statement to defend its government's position on terrorism, the people lashed out at the Congress, stating that it shows the Opposition's character in the Parliament. 

The channel selectively edited Gogoi's comments to create a narrative that India is trying to cover up its own failures. Netizens have taken to social media to express their outrage, accusing Gogoi of inadvertently providing cover fire to Pakistan.

During the debate on Operation Sindoor, Gogoi had raised questions about the government's handling of the Pahalgam attack. He stated, "Rajnath Singh ji gave a lot of information, but as Defence Minister, he never mentioned how terrorists from Pakistan reached Pahalgam and killed 26 people..It is our duty to ask these questions in the interest of the nation." After Gogoi's statement in the Parliament, the Pakistani news channels plucked clips from his videos and used his words with a twist to serve their own agenda.

Pakistani News Channel's Spin

The Pakistani news channel used Gogoi's statement to create a false narrative that India is trying to deflect attention from its own failures. The anchor mentioned Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi's remark, which was also taken to support Pakistan's fake narrative. The channel's attempt to use Gogoi's statement to defend Pakistan's actions has stirred outrage on social media, with social media users slamming the Congress leaders for their stance. 

Netizens have taken to social media to express their disappointment and anger towards Gogoi. Many have accused him of being naive and providing "cover fire" to Pakistan. Others have questioned his loyalty and commitment to the country.
