ISPR rejects Indian documentary as ‘propaganda’, says battlefield record cannot be rewritten

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Monday rejected an Indian documentary portraying Operation Sindoor as a military success, calling it a “highly dramatised” and “factually inaccurate” attempt to rewrite the events of the May 2025 conflict.

ISPR rejects Indian documentary as ‘propaganda’, says battlefield record cannot be rewritten

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has dismissed an Indian documentary portraying Operation Sindoor as a military success, describing it as "highly dramatised" and "factually inaccurate." The military's media wing claims the documentary uses selective editing, emotional narration, and cinematic techniques to create a domestic-friendly narrative.

The ISPR points to contradictions in the documentary, particularly regarding the timeline of the Pahalgam incident and Operation Sindoor. They question India's assertion that the operation was aimed at punishing those responsible for a 2025 Pahalgam incident, emphasizing that Pakistan claims to have identified and killed the alleged perpetrators on July 28, 82 days after the operation began.

The ISPR also rejects the documentary's statement of "100 percent mission success," citing their own operational record indicating Pakistani military actions thwarted Indian aggression, including downing eight Indian aircraft and conducting airstrikes on Indian military installations. The ISPR further disputes the documentary's portrayal of a ceasefire, arguing it contradicts the idea of an unconditional Indian victory and questions the role of US facilitation in ending the conflict.

The military's media wing describes the documentary as a "carefully constructed domestic narrative" rather than an objective military account, asserting that cinematic reconstruction cannot alter the truth about battle casualties and engagements. They reiterate Pakistan's commitment to regional peace and warn of a strong response to any future aggression against Pakistan.
