Description
The document outlines the psychological operation codenamed ‘Silent Reminder,’ which was conducted in response to the Pahalgam terror incident in April 2025 that resulted in the deaths of 26 individuals. It details the retaliatory measures taken by India, including military strikes and a counter-offensive propaganda campaign aimed at discrediting Pakistan by highlighting its historical association with Osama Bin Laden.
The operation involved extensive use of social media to manipulate public perception and generate global pressure against Pakistan, ultimately leading to significant diplomatic repercussions for the country.
Throughout the operation, audience engagement, narrative diffusion, and public responses were continuously observed to evaluate the campaign’s effectiveness and document lessons learned for future psychological operations research.
