When journalists asked for details, the press secretary said, “Recently, we have been noticing some efforts to spread disinformation concerning some incidents. In most cases we are seeing that the Indian media is putting in these efforts in a really attacking way. For this we have to create a national unity and tell them to come and see what’s happening here.”

“At the same time, we also have to maintain our national unity. Our national unity is really vital here. For, a sort of disinformation is being spread about our country. There’s a concern for our country’s image involved here. All of us together have to join a campaign against this disinformation in unison,” he added.
