Sydney: After the shooting incident at Australia’s famous Bondi Beach, some Israeli, Indian, and Afghan media outlets began spreading propaganda by sharing the photo of a young man named Sheikh Naveed. These outlets falsely tried to link the attack to Pakistan. However, this claim was exposed when Australian broadcaster Nine News revealed new facts.
According to reports, Nine News quoted a close associate of the deceased suspect, who said that the shooter was of Indian origin. This disclosure contradicted claims made by Indian journalists and media outlets that were trying to connect the attacker to Pakistan.
Reports further stated that a friend who worked with the shooter confirmed in an interview that the shooter’s father was Indian, while his mother was Italian.
Following the Sydney attack, what many described as a “fake news factory” became active, especially across Israeli, Indian, and Afghan media platforms. These outlets were accused of spreading misleading and false information, confusing people around the world about the real identity of the attacker.
Australian media initially identified the attacker as Naveed Akram. However, Sheikh Naveed from New South Wales publicly responded on social media and exposed the Indian media propaganda.
Sheikh Naveed stated that Israeli, Indian, and Afghan media outlets were showing his photo and falsely labeling him as the attacker. He urged people not to fall for this misleading campaign.
The young man, originally from Lahore, also appealed on social media, saying that false news was being spread using his image and that these claims were completely untrue.
It is important to note that after the shooting at Bondi Beach, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced plans to tighten gun laws across the country.
Australian media reported that the alleged attackers were a father and son who opened fire on a nearby crowd on Sunday evening. Police confirmed that the 50-year-old father legally owned six registered firearms, all of which were used in the attack.
Prime Minister Albanese said stricter gun laws are necessary, including limits on how many weapons one person can own. He emphasized that the government is ready to take all required steps to strengthen firearm regulations.
He also said that people can become radicalized over time, and gun licenses should not be permanent. According to the Prime Minister, the time has come to once again tighten Australia’s gun laws. He added that these reforms will be discussed with state leaders during the National Cabinet meeting.
