Government releases confessional video and audio of Indian handler, vows to expose “every conspiracy.”

In a dramatic revelation, Pakistan’s government announced on Saturday that it had uncovered a fresh espionage attempt by India, describing it as another “heinous conspiracy” following the failure of Operation Sindoor.
Federal ministers Atta Tarar and Talal Chaudhry presented what they called concrete evidence of India’s involvement in espionage, disinformation, and propaganda campaigns aimed at destabilizing Pakistan.

Press Conference in Islamabad

Addressing a joint press conference in Islamabad, Information Minister Atta Tarar said India had launched a wave of fake news and digital misinformation to malign Pakistan’s reputation after facing humiliation in recent regional confrontations.

“India could not digest Pakistan’s victory in Marka-e-Haq,” Tarar said. “Now they are resorting to propaganda, spreading false reports, and running misinformation campaigns after the failure of Operation Sindoor.”

He ridiculed Indian media reports claiming that “ports in Lahore and Multan” had been destroyed pointing out that both cities are landlocked, exposing the absurdity of the claims.

Fisherman Used as Spy

The ministers revealed that Ijaz Mallah, a Pakistani fisherman, had been arrested for his alleged role in the conspiracy.
According to officials, Mallah was detained by Indian Coast Guards during a fishing trip in international waters and was later coerced by Indian intelligence agencies into participating in espionage activities.

“India used a poor fisherman, pressured him, and sent him back to Pakistan with malicious intent,” Tarar stated.

He said Mallah was instructed by Indian handlers to acquire Pakistan Army, Navy, and Rangers uniforms, Zong SIM cards, local cigarettes, and Pakistani currency notes, items meant for use in fabricating videos and false flag operations.

Confession Aired

During the press briefing, a video confession of Ijaz Mallah was aired.
In it, Mallah admitted to receiving instructions from Indian intelligence officers after being detained at sea.

“They told me to get uniforms of the Army, Navy, and Rangers, along with Pakistani SIM cards and currency,” Mallah said in his statement. “I sent pictures and items to an Indian officer and was later caught when I returned to sea.”

Officials also played an audio recording of an Indian handler allegedly directing Mallah on the tasks he was assigned. The ministers said the confession and recordings clearly prove India’s hand in orchestrating propaganda against Pakistan.

India’s Motives Questioned

Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry criticized Indian media, labeling it “Godi media,” for spreading fake stories to divert attention from internal political instability.

“With Bihar elections near and failures in Pahalgam and elsewhere, India is trying to create distractions through false flag narratives and cricket hype,” Chaudhry said.

He added that the use of Zong SIM cards was intended to fabricate a link between Pakistan and China, aiming to undermine both nations’ strategic partnership.

“Every attempt to malign Pakistan has failed,” Chaudhry said. “Our institutions are vigilant, alert, and ready to counter every hostile move.”

Pakistan’s Stance and Response

Both ministers reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to peace, stability, and regional integrity.
They emphasized that Pakistan’s security institutions are fully capable of thwarting foreign conspiracies, and the country’s intelligence agencies are actively monitoring all cross-border threats.

“We are a sovereign nation. Our land is not used against anyone, and we expect the same from others,” Talal Chaudhry stressed.

They also questioned how sensitive visuals, such as those of the Jaffar Express tragedy, appeared first on Indian media, suggesting coordination between Indian intelligence and news outlets to manipulate public perception.

The ministers concluded that Pakistan’s law enforcement agencies had once again foiled India’s designs, exposing a campaign of deceit and disinformation aimed at creating unrest within the country.
