A tweet shared by @TheLegateIN containing a purported report from @OsintTV claims that Pakistan has hired a US lobbying firm for $1.2 million to rebuild ties with Washington and revive defence cooperation. A thorough fact-check review confirms this is fabricated propaganda. The post originates from accounts known to be part of a coordinated India-linked disinformation network that routinely spreads false narratives targeting Pakistan. No credible US lobbying disclosure records or official Pakistani statements support this claim. The figure and details appear entirely invented. In my opinion, such disinformation undermines genuine diplomatic discourse and aims to destabilize perceptions of Pakistan-US relations. It is a clear example of how hostile state-linked actors weaponize social media to push divisive agendas.
