A few days ago, a video of Chief of Staff General Qamar (COAS) Javed Bajwa circulated on social media claiming to be from the Independence event in UK.
The video showed a Ukrainian singer singing Pakistan’s national song, Dil Dil Pakistan at an event. Some Twitter users claimed that the video is from Pakistan’s Independence Day celebrations in the UK. The video went viral on social media. Some related the video to the recent official visit of COAS Bajwa to the UK.
However, a Twitter handle named The Intel Consortium said that the video is not from the recent visit of COAS Bajwa to the UK. The account debunked the fake propaganda on social media.

Twitter handle said that the video is from the visit of Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa to Ukraine in 2021. The singer performing is a Ukrainian pop singer and former model, Kamaliya who is the wife of wealthy Pakistani-Ukrainian businessman Muhammad Zahoor.
The handle added that the video also shows Pakistan’s Ambassador to Ukraine Noel Khokhar sitting beside COAS Bajwa in the video. Speculations came in following the visit of COAS Bajwa to the UK.
