PM Media Office: Spreading lies is the weapon of the bankrupt

INA – BAGHDAD
 
PM media office confirmed on Friday that spreading lies is the weapon of the bankrupt, indicating that legal prosecution is ongoing for every party or entity that promotes or fabricates lies and false news.
 
“Continuing our commitment to transparency in government operations and factual media efforts to benefit the public, we affirm that legal action will be taken against any parties or individuals spreading falsehoods and baseless accusations. Such actions aim solely to mislead the public, shield the corrupt, and undermine the government’s achievements, particularly in longstanding service and economic challenges,” included a statement by the PM Media Office – received by the Iraqi News Agency – INA.
 
The statement highlighted that “spreading lies is the weapon of those who lack credibility and respect in the eyes of our people. Each time the government accomplishes a major milestone, such as the recent significant achievement of Al Faw Grand Port, opponents of progress respond with unfounded lies. Identifying and tracking those behind these attempts is not difficult, and legal consequences will follow for those who fabricate and distort facts.”
 
“Our nation has faced a wide range of media attacks over the past two decades—some aimed at our armed forces, others at the democratic process, promoting the remnants of past dictatorships. Today, some are aiding corruption or neglecting their constitutional roles by resorting to slander and deception, merely to tarnish tangible government achievements. However, justice has confronted—and will continue to confront—every case of corruption.”
 
The government team will persist in its work - according to the statement – “undeterred by these transparent tactics. The fight against corruption will continue to uphold the law and protect the dignity of every Iraqi, ensuring accountability for anyone attempting to undermine those who serve the Iraqi people with honor.”
