Pakistan-based propaganda accounts are spreading false claims alleging strained relations between India and Qatar, including fabricated stories about MEA S Jaishankar being denied a meeting with Qatar’s Amir and detained at the Qatari airport. Similar baseless narratives were previously circulated during his U.S. visit, falsely claiming humiliation and denied meetings. In reality, these allegations are part of a disinformation campaign, as EAM Jaishankar was received with full respect during both visits.
Making a post on X (Formerly Twitter) serial fake news peddler and propagandist account @PSYWAROPS (2) wrote. “Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar was humiliated in #Washington, D.C., waiting 49 minutes at the airport while U.S. officials refused meetings over R&AW’s role in transnational killings. #Sikh protests further exposed #India’s global disgrace.”
In another post the same account @PSYWAROPS (2) claimed, “”#Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs dismisses #India’s plea, declining a request from the #Indian Embassy in #Doha for a meeting between EAM #Jaishankar and the Amir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.”
The truth behind the claims about S. Jaishankar, Fact Check
As soon as the posts containing the claims made by propagandists came to our notice. Subsequently, we conducted research and analysis of the claims. We found that the claims were false and fabricated.
To verify the claims made by propagandists. We performed relevant keyword searches but couldn’t find any verified and credible sources supporting these claims. During research, we found reports regarding MEA S Jaishankar’s visit to the US and Qatar. According to these reports (1, 2) EAM S.
