*SIR : THESE FAKE TURNS*

EVERY ELECTION when in offing brings a deluge of Fake News.

Many get dubbed as CIA or RAW agents OR blasphemers. There are not many organizations like  BYTES for all who expose fake News.

Fake news follows a pattern. They are immediately replicated and and disseminated by trolls  including well-reputed news organizations.

Heretofore are a few bloomers of fake news. News 18 English revealed Pak Arming Hizbul Mujahideen with Chemical Weapons.

Lt. Gen [Retd] GD Bakshi said , ''It seems they [Kashmiri Mujahideen] are looking for a big terror attack.

You [CNN-News18] have done great service by exposing this,''

The news was followed by Asia Times, International Business Times, Financial Express,'' Pakistan to launch Chemical Jihad on India?''

Gist of fake news [splashed in prestigious INDIA TODAY, Hindu and other newspapers] is that  Pakistan has tactical nuclear weapons that it would use in conventional war scenario.

But Indian Air Force is capable of locating and destroying Pakistan nukes when ordered by government.

There is a need to detect and expose and punish masterminds spreading fake national and international news.

The government could carve out a source-verifying mechanism out of existing sources of Federal Investigation Agency [ Cyber Wing ] and Pakistan's Media Regulatory Authority.
