The same page had shared similar fake letter stating Pakistan government is hiring video editors.
We also checked the official websites of government of Pakistan but they did not open for us due to banning regulations in India.
We checked official accounts of ministries from Pakistan on X (formerly Twitter) using VPN but did not find any authentic source that would confirm this claim.
Neither did we find any credible reports that would support the claim.
Conclusion: A fake letter is going viral as an official one to claim that Pakistan government has fired PAF Air Vice Marshal Aurangzeb Ahmed.
