Hina Rabbani Viral Video: Shameful! Former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Has No Answer to Terrorism, Walks Out of Live Debate, Watch

A heated exchange on British journalist Piers Morgan’s show has gone viral, exposing Pakistan’s former Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar as she struggled to defend her country’s stance on terrorism and democracy. The clip, now widely shared on social media, shows her abruptly walking out of the live debate after a powerful rebuttal from Indian journalist Barkha Dutt. 

प्रधानमंत्री मोदी को देश ने तीसरी बार चुना है। आपके यहां की तरह नहीं है कि सेना प्रधानमंत्री चुनती है और फिर उसे जेल या निर्वासन भोगना पड़ता है।

“PM Chosen by People, Not Army”: Barkha Dutt Shuts Down Pakistan Panel

As discussions turned toward leadership legitimacy in South Asia, Barkha Dutt firmly stated:

“Prime Minister Modi has been chosen by the people of India for the third time. It’s not like your country, where the army chooses the Prime Minister, and then either sends them to jail or into exile.”

This sharp remark came in response to Hina Rabbani and a Pakistani podcaster’s comment questioning the democratic mandate of India’s leadership.

The comment drew applause from the audience and triggered a visibly uncomfortable reaction from Rabbani, who chose to exit the debate mid-way, unable to respond effectively.

Online Backlash and Support for Barkha Dutt

The viral video has drawn massive public support for Barkha Dutt, with many lauding her for calling out Pakistan’s history of military interference in governance and harboring terrorism. Hashtags like #BarkhaDutt, #HinaRabbani, and #PiersMorganDebate trended on social media following the broadcast.

Pakistani Silence on Terror Question

The panel discussion also touched on the issue of cross-border terrorism, with Piers Morgan asking direct questions about Pakistan’s track record. Hina Rabbani Khar, instead of defending or clarifying, chose to divert the conversation, leading to further criticism.

The full exchange is now available on Piers Morgan’s official channel. Social media users from both India and abroad are sharing clips of the moment, calling it a “reality check” for Pakistan’s political class.
