'It's all over social media': Pakistan defence minister Khwaja Asif's bizarre response when asked for proof of downing Indian jet
Thursday, 8 May 2025 () Pakistan's defence minister, Khwaja Asif, faced scrutiny on CNN after claiming Pakistan shot down five Indian jets during Operation Sindoor. He cited social media as his source, drawing a sharp response from the anchor. This followed India's Operation Sindoor, which targeted terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, responding to the Phalgam attack that killed 26 people.
In a bizarre and self-deprecating admission, Pakistan's Defence Minister, Khawaja Asif, has made headlines with his controversial statement: "We didn’t stop Indian drones to save our locations." This outlandish claim has sparked widespread mockery both within Pakistan and internationally, with...
Amid growing military strikes between Pakistan and India, confusion surrounds Pakistan's response. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif denies reports of an emergency nuclear meeting, contradicting claims from Pakistan's military that Prime Minister Imran Khan had called for one. As the situation escalates, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister hints at possible de-escalation, stating they may halt actions if India does the same. Meanwhile, international powers, including the U.S. and China, are pushing for both nations to open direct communication to avoid a potential disaster. As tensions rise, both sides face mounting pressure.

Pakistan’s defense minister Khawaja Asif stunned viewers during a CNN interview by admitting that Islamabad’s claim of shooting down five Indian jets—including Rafales—was based entirely on Indian social media posts. He provided no military confirmation, stating, “the debris is on their side.” India had earlier launched a retaliatory airstrike on terror camps across Pakistan and PoK. Fact-checkers exposed Pakistan’s viral jet debris photos as old and unrelated. Asif warned of potential full-scale war, while indirectly acknowledging Indian strike casualties.

Following the Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 people, Pakistan has urged Russia and China to assist in an international probe. Pakistani Defence Minister Khawaja Asif suggested that global powers verify India’s claims about Pakistan’s involvement. Meanwhile, criticism mounts over contradictory Pakistani statements, as officials both justify and deny the attack. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed the "harshest response" to the perpetrators. Analysts argue Pakistan’s stance appears self-discrediting, fueling international skepticism about its intentions regarding the Pahalgam massacre.

Russia’s proposed second round of Ukraine peace talks in Istanbul on June 2 appears doomed before it begins. Ukraine has raised complaints, demanding Moscow deliver its ceasefire draft immediately, while Russia decries Kyiv’s conditions as "unconstructive." Ukraine insists on a full ceasefire as a starting point, accusing Russia of stalling. The first talks failed after Putin skipped the meeting, and now with no changes in Russia’s delegation, hopes for diplomatic progress remain bleak amid rising tension and mistrust.

A shocking U.S. court submission reveals the Trump administration claimed to broker a 2025 ceasefire between India and Pakistan using trade deals. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated access to U.S. markets helped avert full-scale war during Operation Sindoor. But India has flatly denied any such arrangement, insisting the ceasefire resulted from military pressure and diplomatic efforts. Pakistan’s PM credited Trump but omitted trade. With conflicting accounts and growing questions, the world waits: did trade really stop a war, or is there a deeper game afoot?
