Indian Army Fact Check tweets, "A digitally altered video is being circulated with fabricated remarks attributed to Lt Gen Girish Kalia, claiming that China has taken control of Asaphila, Longjou and Taksing Circle in Arunachal Pradesh and that the Indian Army has been denied essential supplies. The misleading video attempts to portray fabricated statements as a leaked admission by a senior Indian Army officer. The video uses Synthetic Generated Information to falsely attribute remarks to Lt Gen Girish Kalia. The original footage relates to a press briefing delivered by then GOC 28 Infantry Division, Maj Gen Girish Kalia, in Kupwara, Jammu & Kashmir, on 27 October 2023. He addressed infiltration attempts across the Line of Control, reporting 10 foiled attempts, the elimination of 27 terrorists and the recovery of warlike stores and narcotics. He made no such statements about Chinese control over Arunachal Pradesh or denial of supplies to the Indian Army..."

Indian Army flags a deepfake claiming China has taken Asaphila, Longjou and Taksing in Arunachal Pradesh. The viral clip reuses Maj Gen Girish Kalia's Oct 2023 Kupwara briefing, which was about LoC infiltration, not China. Check before you share.

An international oligarch is in a state of ultimate depression.
Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better. Thank you 🙏

Starlink’s India controversy has a bigger question behind it. 👀 From Myanmar scam compounds to alleged use by jihadist groups in Africa, Starlink terminals have been seized or documented in criminal/terror networks. So why does India’s security scrutiny matter? 🇮🇳

The darker side of satellite connectivity is rarely discussed. Criminal networks, scam operations and armed groups can exploit the same connectivity designed for legitimate users. How does that work & why does it matter for India? 🇮🇳 Full breakdown 👇 defencexp.com/weaponization-…

⚠️ IF THAT FLYDUBAI PLANE HAD CRASHED… 1️⃣ The Indian pilot would have been blamed instantly. 2️⃣ Racists would have flooded social media with “Indian pilots” narratives before investigators even reached the wreckage. 3️⃣ Pakistani troll accounts would have amplified it, turning a tragedy into another India-bashing opportunity. 4️⃣ AI171 and the Phuket incidents would have been dragged in as evidence of a “pattern of behaviour” of Indian pilots. 5️⃣ Every unrelated Indian aviation incident would suddenly have become part of a narrative about supposedly “unsafe Indian pilots”. 6️⃣ Meanwhile, Oman’s lack of any meaningful history of aviation terrorism would have been used to bolster the India pilot angle. 7️⃣ If Indian pilot Capt Smit hadn’t survived & fought back to save the plane, the world would have got an entirely different story.

If courage had a face, it would look like Captain Smit Machchhar - wounded, yet fighting to save 174 lives. A true hero. A true example of courage under fire. Praying for his speedy recovery. Jai Hind 🇮🇳
