When asked for credible proof, Asif responds with a straight face:

“The evidence is on social media!”

But the fact is there's no such credible evidence available which can justify their false claims.

The response has triggered a flood of reactions online, with users mocking the statement and questioning the credibility of Pakistan’s defence narrative. One user quipped, “Bro completely 5we fail hai,” summing up the sentiment shared by many.

History of False Claims: A Pattern of Denial and Deceit

This isn't the first time Pakistan has resorted to unverifiable or false claims during cross-border tensions:

After Balakot airstrikes in 2019, Pakistan denied damage despite satellite images confirming terror training camp destruction.

In the Abhinandan Varthaman incident, Pakistani officials initially claimed to have downed two Indian jets but later failed to provide any wreckage or technical evidence.

Pakistan also falsely claimed to have captured Indian commandos on multiple occasions, only to later retract or go silent.

These instances, coupled with Khawaja Asif’s latest comment, paint a clear picture of disinformation being used to distract the domestic population and global audiences from Pakistan’s internal instability and diplomatic failures.

With hashtags like #OperationSindoor, #PakFakeClaims, and #SocialMediaProof, Indian users have flooded platforms with memes and sarcastic videos. One post reads:

“Next time, Pakistan will show PUBG screenshots as proof of battle success.”

Meanwhile, military analysts and ex-officers have also weighed in, calling out Pakistan’s poor strategic communication and warning that such frivolous claims only undermine serious conflict reporting.

Social Media Reactions: Humour, Sarcasm & Outrage

The video, now making rounds across platforms like X (Twitter), Instagram, and WhatsApp, has become a talking point amidst the high-voltage tension post-Operation Sindoor.

Memes,sarcastic takes, and sharp political commentary have flooded timelines. Some users pointed out that if social media is a valid source of military proof, then even WhatsApp forwards qualify as evidence, exposing the desperation and disarray in Pakistan’s official communications.

Backdrop: Operation Sindoor

This viral moment comes on the heels of India’s strategic military offensive – Operation Sindoor – a tri-services counter-terror operation that struck nine terrorist strongholds inside Pakistan and PoK. As India garners international attention for its precision and restraint, Pakistan appears to be struggling with narrative control on global platforms.

The viral video not only undermines Pakistan’s military non credible but also raises serious questions about how Pakistan handle press scrutiny during conflict situations. For many Indians watching, this moment is being seen as a live admission of Pakistan’s narrative collapse on international TV.
