For Task 2, our generatedcounter-narratives ranked 1st globally in En-glish with an overall average score of 87.47{\%}and 5th in Tamil. We present our promptingmethodology, robust span-matching pipeline,detailed official results, and an analysis of themodel{'}s performance across diverse languages."
