Fake Video: Men Uprooting Trees

The trees were planted as part of the 10 Billion Tree Tsunami initiative (Pakistan Today).

In August 2020, Bharatiya Janata party member Surendra Punia tweeted the video with a caption reading, “Imran Khan copied PM Shri Modi's 'Tree Plantation Drive' in Pakistan but his followers uprooted all trees because they feel 'Planting trees is against Islam.'” The claim was soon picked up by users on social media, who reposted the claim with Islamophobic captions.
