On the other hand, Indian media sustaining its tradition of false reporting claimed that this wild fire isn’t caused by the climate change. This is part of Pakistan army’s collective punishment policy of Baloch people.
This is just another malicious attempt to damage that Pakistan’s image by propagating hate and fueling insurgencies in order to harm country’s national security.
