The EU DisinfoLab has discovered a huge Indian disinformation network named the Indian Chronicles, which ran for over 15 years in 115 countries. Conducted by the Srivastava Group, the campaign had more than 750 phony media houses, reconstituted NGOs, and imitated UN-accredited personalities to project anti-Pakistan agendas in international forums such as the UN and EU.
Pakistan reacted in diplomatic ways, bringing up the issue in the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, calling for global accountability. Despite the magnitude of the operation, the international response has proved inadequate, which illuminates the missing regulatory mechanisms for combating state-sponsored disinformation.
