Claim

Pakistan invited Russian and Chinese speakers to its Indus summit to attack the Indian government as part of a propaganda effort.

“Pakistan has gone all out to attack India. It has also invited Russian and Chinese speakers to go after the Indian government as part of the propaganda.”

Rationale

The claim conflates a verified element with an unsupported one. A Chinese speaker (Victor Gao) did address Pakistan's late-June 2026 Indus Waters Treaty conference and attacked the Indian government, and India framed the event as propaganda — so the Chinese-speaker and propaganda parts are accurate. However, coverage of the conference consistently lists foreign participants as coming from the US and China; no reputable source identifies any Russian speaker. Because the specific assertion of 'Russian AND Chinese speakers' is only half-supported (Chinese yes, Russian unsubstantiated), the overall claim is misleading.
