For ages, Pakistan has been leaving no stone unturned to flourish their agenda be its political, economic or worse humanitarian crisis. Amid the recent killing of popular Punjabi singer, Sidhu Moosewala, Pakistan found it as an apt situation to sail their ship of propaganda.
With the news of Sidhu Moosewala being shot dead in Mansa, Punjab, the keyboard warriors from Pakistan found their seasonal employment by mushrooming on the #RawKilledMoosewala and changing the narrative of the incident. The news first came out at around 6:15pm on May 29th and the first tweet which came up upon Twitter was from a Pakistani account. Proof has been attached below:
Thereafter, proliferation on the hashtag begun. Without any surprise, all were Pakistani accounts. All the handles which contributed to the hashtag are as follows:

Some accounts specifically came forth for this very purpose and after pushing the agenda they changed their username like the one below.
Screenshot attached below highlights the all the accounts have been Pakistani.
Soon after renowned personalities from Pakistan picked the agenda, some Sikh organizations jumped in to fuel the facade. They even attempted to draw parallels between 1984 and the killing of Moosewala.
All seemed to be copying each others’ content to escalate the fake narrative. A total of 26 accounts contributed, all being Pakistani and among them most of them were of PTI. Keeping in light, the current political turmoil in Pakistan, planting such seeds of hatred is obvious to defame the governing political body.
Even self-proclaimed news agencies of Pakistan did not shy away from pushing the propaganda with motive being only one- to incite Sikhs towards India.
Many Pakistani accounts are calling it the conspiracy of RAW, which is the intelligence service of India. All is done to degrade the image of India on international grounds.
Along with the hateful and disturbing narratives some fake news on different political parties are coming forth.
A screenshot of Arvind Kejriwal(CM Delhi) and Bhagwant Mann (CM Punjab) is getting viral on social media sites.
In the image both of them can be seen sitting outside a liquor shop.
