"Fake": India On Report Claiming "Secret Memo" Targeting Sikh Separatists

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the report is part of a "sustained disinformation campaign" against India.

External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the report is part of a "sustained disinformation campaign" against India and the outlet that came out with it is known for propagating "fake narratives" peddled by Pakistani intelligence.

Online American media outlet The Intercept came out with the report.
