This week, host Pratyush Deep is joined by Newslaundry’s Prateek Goyal and Drishti Choudhary.

Prateek and Drishti have reported on the fake news being peddled on social media during the India-Pakistan conflict, following Operation Sindoor. Both of them closely tracked the misinformation campaign run on both sides of the border and analysed the deeper implications of this information warfare. 

Prateek’s report looked at how Pakistan weaponised disinformation against India by underplaying aggression, claiming victimhood, and sowing seeds of disunity and repurposing it for the age of AI. Drishti, on the other hand, spoke to digital experts to report on how “misinformation and propaganda” was passed off under the garb of information warfare in India. 

Tune in.
