Claim

In the last 48 hours Pakistani propaganda has centred on the supposed success of Track Two talks in Colombo, and the Pakistani minister's reaction proves Islamabad can never be trusted.

“पिछले 48 घंटों में पाकिस्तानी प्रचार का केंद्र कोलंबिया में ट्रैक टू वार्ता की सफलता रहा। और इस पाकिस्तानी मंत्री की प्रतिक्रिया से ही यह स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि इस्लामाबाद पर कभी भरोसा नहीं किया जा सकता।”

Rationale

The factual kernel is accurate: India–Pakistan Track Two talks did take place in Colombo in late June 2026. However, the claim frames a real backchannel event through unsubstantiated editorial spin. India itself (FS Vikram Misri, 29 June) stated the talks were a private event with no official standing and no agreed outcome, so there was no verified 'success'; the person often cited was Sherry Rehman, a senator/former minister, not a serving 'minister'; and assertions that 'Pakistani propaganda centred' on it and that a reaction 'proves Islamabad can never be trusted' are subjective opinion, not established fact. No Indian fact-checker (AltNews, BOOM, Factly, Newschecker, PIB) flagged the underlying event as fabricated, but the claim mixes a true occurrence with unverified characterizations presented as fact — hence misleading.
