Since India abrogated Article 370, Pakistan has not stopped raising issue at international platforms, despite several unsuccessful attempts. This, despite India making it clear more than once that issue is India's internal matter. While Pakistan continues to sponsor cross-border terrorism in valley, Pakistan PM Imran Khan has levelled serious allegations on Indian government and has even peddled fake news about India forces in valley. Khan has repeatedly fearmongered and peddled fake news on Kashmir's ground situation. He has also faced defeat on an international scale after he called for global mediation into bilateral issue.
