Here are the facts about controversy surrounding new 1,000 rupee design note from SBP

LAHORE – A recent social media post from the account “Dawat O Tabligh,” which has 7,000 followers, has been spreading false and misleading information about the 1,000 Pakistani Rupee note.
The post includes an edited image of the note, claiming it features a cross symbol which allegedly signifies the Dajjal (Antichrist). It further asserts that the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is under Jewish control and advises Muslims against accepting the note.

These claims are entirely false. The 1,000 Pakistani Rupee note does not contain any cross symbol. Its design includes various national symbols and security features but nothing resembling a cross.

Moreover, the assertion that Jews control the State Bank of Pakistan is baseless. The State Bank is a government institution managed by Pakistani authorities and not influenced by any foreign or religious group.

This misleading post aims to create fear and sow distrust among the public. By manipulating religious sentiments and fabricating allegations, it seeks to undermine confidence in the national currency and financial institutions.

Authorities, fact-checking organizations, and SBP officials have debunked these claims. They emphasize the importance of verifying information through reliable sources before sharing it.

They said misinformation like this can have significant consequences, spreading unnecessary panic and confusion. Social media users are urged to evaluate the content they encounter online critically and avoid sharing unverified or misleading information.

SBP officials advised citizens to rely on official statements from the State Bank of Pakistan and trusted news sources for accurate information regarding currency and financial institutions.
