While the Island nation is reeling from worst terror attack in its history, some countries are busy in taking advantage of the tragedy to score on their ‘enemies’.

Pakistan based handlers are busy spreading propaganda against their arch rival India… using Sri Lanka ids. And not an ordinary id but right from military top brass!

Not long after Twitter blocked hundreds of fake ids of Pak military/ ISI, new set of ids are mushrooming again! And how!

In order to clear our doubts, we researched the followers of @cmd_artillery and found that most of the followers belonged to Pakistan. We rarely found a Sri Lankan follower.

Afterwards we decided to research more to find similar or Parent account and we got an account with the name of HUBAIB YOUSEFZAI (@da_watan_lewany). This account’s name included Hubaib and Username mentioned lewany.

This handle is not alone. It’s part of a concerted strategy by some group.

This is most unfortunate that at a time when the Sri Lankan society is trying to deal with the tragedy and where any misinformation can cause severe damage, a neighbouring country is still busy in seeking its selfish interest.
