Noreen Niazi Says Pakistan Fabricated "Victory Narrative" On Operation Sindoor

Noreen Niazi, the sister of jailed former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, has alleged that Pakistan's military projected a misleading narrative about the outcome of India's Operation Sindoor to conceal what she described as battlefield setbacks. Her remarks, made during a recent interview, have sparked political controversy in Pakistan and prompted action by the country's authorities.

According to Niazi, the four-day military confrontation did not unfold in the manner presented by Pakistan's military leadership and government. She claimed that Operation Sindoor was a major success for India and alleged that the Pakistan Army attempted to portray the conflict as a victory for domestic audiences. Her statements have not been independently verified.

Following the interview, Pakistan's National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) issued a notice summoning Niazi. The agency alleged that she had disseminated "false, offensive and inflammatory" content on social media aimed at defaming state institutions and spreading misleading narratives. The notice directed her to appear before the authorities as part of the ongoing inquiry.

During the interview, Niazi also made additional claims without providing supporting evidence. She alleged that India chose not to escalate the conflict further because of a tacit understanding linked to Israel and suggested that the developments were connected to Pakistan's possible future engagement with the Abraham Accords. Pakistan currently does not recognise Israel and has no diplomatic relations with the country.

Niazi further claimed that the military confrontation, referred to by Pakistan as Maarka-e-Haq, ended after intervention by US President Donald Trump, whom she alleged helped provide a face-saving exit for Pakistan's leadership. No official evidence was presented to support these assertions, and the relevant governments have not publicly confirmed the claims.

The remarks drew criticism from leaders of Pakistan's ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), who argued that such statements undermined the country's interests and state institutions. The NCCIA's investigation is continuing, while the controversy has added to the political tensions surrounding former Prime Minister Imran Khan and his supporters.
