A comprehensive fact-check review confirms that the tweet shared by @TheLegateIN, quoting @DesiEsco7, is fake propaganda. The post falsely attributes statements to the Indian Army Chief and Navy Chief, claiming they urged troops to be prepared for 'Operation Sindoor 2.0' and 'Operation Snow Leopard 2.0.' No official government or military sources have issued or verified such statements. The account @DesiEsco7 has been identified as part of a network of India-linked propaganda accounts known for spreading disinformation to incite nationalist fervor and create false narratives about military readiness. The quotes are entirely fabricated and designed to mislead the public. My opinion: This is a dangerous and irresponsible attempt to manipulate public perception of India's defense forces. Such fake alerts can cause unnecessary panic, undermine trust in official channels, and escalate tensions. Fact-checkers and social media platforms must take swift action to label and remove such content.
