Marka-e-Haq exposes Indian media's negative rhetoric, systematic misinformation against Pakistan

PESHAWAR, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 3rd May, 2026) Marka-e-Haq has proved a defining moment in Pakistan's defense history as one side it tarnished Narendra Modi politcal capital and consemetic narrative of regional supremacy while on the other side it exposed Indian media's negative rhetoric and systematic misinformation against Pakistan.

Wasim Akbar, former Chairman Journalism Department at Gomal University said Indian media biased approach against Pakistan has been fully exposed during Maraka e Haq.

He said the carefully constructed facade of Indian media's fake narratives was crumbled during Marka-e-Haq, adding Pakistani media presented authentic news to millions of people.

Wasim said that fascist Modi Govt had blocked websites and social media pages of national broadcasters of Pakistan in a bid to deprive it's people of authentic information.

"Following false flag operation at Pehalgam on April 22 last year, Indian media without confirmation had leveled baseless allegations against Pakistan and trumpeted the fake narrative of the fascist Modi Govt."

Through misinformation and fake news, he said Modi regime had tried to shape perceptions, blurring the line between truth and propaganda.

But in the decisive moments of Marka-e-Haq, facts on the ground spoke louder than headlines, exposing fake and selective storytelling of Indian media and revealing how deeply narratives had been manipulated by RAW to serve negative agendas.

He said Pakistani media has tarnished Narandara Modi’s deceptive myth of military dominance, and regional supremacy.

India's unprovoked missiles and drone strikes against nine sites in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir have resulted in the death of dozens of civilians including women and children on May 6-7 last year.

He said Pakistan Forces have bravely responded to the enemy after starting Operation Bunyanum Marsoos on broad daylight of May 10, 2025 and shot-down multiple warplanes of the enemy including highly sophisticated Rafale besides destroying key enemy’s military installations.

With thunderous precision, Pakistan Army and PAF struck like lightning across the breadth of India’s defenses and silenced the enemy’s guns.

Pakistani Forces, in a single unstoppable day, have not only silenced the Indian military but also dismantled its air bases at Suratgarh, Sirsa, Srinagar, Jammu, and Pathankot besides obliterated BrahMos missile sites at Beas and Nagrota. Even the vaunted S-400 systems at Adampur and Bhuj were dismantled by Pakistani Forces, stripping India’s shield bare.

To celebrate Pakistan’s historic victory, Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif announced to mark May 10 as Marka e Haq Day. On the call of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, Marka e Haq is celebrated throughout the country including Khyber Pakthunkhwa.

“In Marka e Haq, Pakistan has shattered Modi's so-called political capital and myth of military dominance and reginal supremacy,” said Professor Dr. Ejaz Khan, former Chairman, International Relations Department at University of Peshawar while talking to APP.

He said India media had tried to lift moral of its troops through fake propaganda news but failed completely.

He said Modi Govt have blocked the website and social media pages of national broadcasters of Pakistan in a bid to hide truths.

Following crushing defeat of Indian Forces, he said that Indian Media and opposition parties turned to Modi Govt for its failed policies.

Ejaz Khan said that Pakistan military superiority during operation Iron wall has globally been recognized.

Pakistan Air Force (PAF), in a decisive show of great strength, resolve and fighting skills, repelled Indian blatant aggression befittingly and shot down multiple enemy’s aircraft including the much-vaunted Rafale besides destroying key enemy’s military installations and bases in precision strikes.

“This resounding success has not only validated Pakistan's aerial dominance but also dealt a severe blow to Narendra Modi’s carefully curated deception myth of military invincibility built by Indian media through fake news in the region,” said Dr Ejaz.

Dr Ebad Khan, opposition leader in KP Assembly said that Pakistan was left with no option but to respond against uncalled for Indian missiles and drones strikes at Punjab and Azad Kashmir.

He said Marka e Haq proved all speculations and negative rhetoric of the Indian media against Pakistan as wrong. The enemy’s news channels, fanned by nationalist fervour, had painted Pakistan as a crumbling adversary incapable of withstanding a strike and later started criticism against PM Modi after seeing the Indian Forces crushing defeat in Marka e Haq.

He said that Marka-e-Haq’s historic success had badly tarnished the Modi image in the world and was facing isolation at the global stage.

“Modi, who built his political capital on division, hatred, abuses against minorities and artificial dominance with the help of its media, has been exposed after he miscalculated Pakistan’s military might and faced humiliating defeat at the hands of Pakistani Defense Forces,” said Dr.

Ebad.

“Had Modi Govt accepted the PM Shehbaz Sharif’s joint investigation offer to probe Pehalgam incident, the world have not mocked the Hinduvata regime today,” he said.

He said that India's much-publicized investments in 36 Rafale jets and five S-400 missile systems were meant to cement its air superiority. However, these systems have badly failed in the face of Pakistan’s modern air defense capabilities that effectively neutralized the enemy’s advanced hardware and technology.

Brigadier (Retd) Mehmood Shah, former secretary law and order of erstwhile Fata explained that Pakistani media deserved credit and appreciation for presenting authentic and accurate news to people during Maraka e Haq.

He said Pakistan’s integrated defense approach has outmatched India's eclectic mix of high-cost Western and Russian platforms.

“The J-10C’s long-range radar and missile systems have helped Pakistani pilots to target Rafales from nearly 200 kilometers away and succeeded in downing multiple jets of the enemy. Flashy weapons or fake propaganda do not win wars while strategy, cohesion and believe in own power do.”

In Marka-e-Haq, he said Pakistan’s UAVs successfully completed their missions without facing any hindrance from across the border. Their freedom to navigate Indian airspace unchallenged was enhanced after the destruction of India’s protective layer, the S-400 system, exemplifying that successful drone deployment was predicated on its integration within tactical calculations and strategic doctrine.

Beyond the battlefield, internal dissent in India has surged after Marka e Haq and the political graph of PM Modi has significantly slashed after the failed Sandoor operation.

He said that even the marginalized communities, particularly Sikhs and lower-caste Hindu groups, used social media to voice their frustrations. Clashes between Hindutva activists and minority groups had erupted across Indian cities, exposing deep societal fissures long concealed beneath India’s so called globalized image.

The conflict, which lasted four days, ended on May 10 following a U.S.-brokered ceasefire not due to Indian triumph, but because India found itself without a strategic path forward besides seeing Pakistan’s heroic battlefield performance and technology supremacy.

The Indian public and civil society, once rallied behind nationalistic fervor, began questioning the legitimacy of the May conflict and the false narrative spun by their own media.

The experts said the military success has catalyzed a wave of national unity within Pakistan, with political parties and civil society taking out rallies in support of the armed forces. Social media has also played a vital role in galvanizing this support, transforming the crisis into a defining moment of national unity in Pakistan.

The Modi’s uncalled for unprovoked aggression ushered in Pakistan’ leaders have firmly promised to work with unity and cohesion against the aggressor. The nation have discovered newfound unity, resilience, and diplomatic credibility. Militarily, socially, and politically, Pakistan has emerged a stronger and more self-assured state.

In contrast, Modi’s credibility built by its media through fake news and propaganda lied in tatters. The myth of India's military dominance and regional supremacy created by pro Modi media have been shattered, and the nationalist fervor that once propelled Modi now threatens to turn into political liability.

Dr Ejaz said the skies over South Asia have spoken on May 10 last. What was intended to be Modi’s grand display of dominance has instead become a historic moment of supremacy of Islamabad and rise of a revitalized Pakistan.

Marka-e-Haq has not only reinforced the centrality of the aerial domain within a conventional war between Pakistan and India but the world also learned that domination within the South Asian region does not rest upon numbers, whether manned or unmanned aircraft.

On the contrary, it is the fielding of quality platforms and visionary leadership of Pakistan that results in clear victories. Indubitably, a new leader has been established, with Pakistan’s position on the international stage emerged as that of a net regional stabiliser, showing restraint, but always prepared to promote peace and frustrate the enemy’s designs with full might.

As the dust of May conflict settled, a clearer picture emerged—one defined not by fake news and sensationalism, but by resilience and truth.

Marka-e-Haq became more than just a turning point in security perspectives; it stood as a testament to the power of news and Information authenticity in the face of engineered perception. The collapse of the false narrative of Modi forced a reckoning, compelling audiences to question sources, challenge assumptions, and seek a more balanced understanding.

In its wake, it left behind an important lesson that narratives may be crafted, but truth, when it surfaces, has the strength to redefine everything.
