Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday alleged that the Indian government was indulging in “state terrorism”. To buttress his ridiculous claim, he posted some videos of the Uttar Pradesh police allegedly targeting Indian Muslims. However, he was spreading fake news as the footage was of Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion from Dhaka. People on social media were quick to nail this propaganda of Pakistan.
Here are the netizen reactions on Imran Khan spreading fake news:
Same @ImranKhanPTI , i can't find any evidence of indian police involve in this type of action against the civilians.

Pakistan's failed attempt to corner India
Since the Balakot airstrike, Imran Khan has been trying to portray India in a poor light at various forums. Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, Khan went on to threaten India of another Pulwama-like attack. However, his bid to internationalise the Kashmir issue has consistently failed. His repeated verbal attacks on India come at a juncture when he is facing a lot of opposition in Pakistan for the dire state of the economy and the indiscriminate jailing of dissident leaders.
