In making its claim that India attempted to manipulate international bodies through fake news websites and organizations, Pakistan's foreign minister cited a report by European non-government organization EU Disinfo Lab.
The report highlighted a network of hundreds of fake media outlets and organizations that it said have pushed a pro-India agenda in the European Union (EU) and United Nations (UN) bodies to discredit the country's rivals, in particular Pakistan.
EU DisinfoLab did not detail any direct links between the alleged network and the Indian government and Reuters has no independent evidence of them.
"Today, India is manipulating and misusing the international system for its own nefarious designs," Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said at a press conference, adding that the Indian government was funding the network.
