Asif's interaction on international platform hasn't gone down well with his political colleagues as well, with a woman MP advising that he shouldn't go live on air.
An X user said that he used a trick similar to Khawaja Asif's during his project presentation.
A new morning and a fresh fodder by Khawaja Asif to the social media trolls. This time Pakistan’s defence minister was seen fumbling on a news channel when asked for proof on India’s strike. “I can’t hear you properly," Asif said clumsily.
May be there was a technical issue or a network issue, and Pakistan’s defence minister couldn’t really make out what the anchor was asking him. But then, Asif’s image and his recent statements amid India-Pakistan tension leave less scope for doubt.

Asif’s interaction on international platform hasn’t gone down well with his political colleagues as well. While one criticised his “got to know from social media" comment, a woman MP said, “Don’t go live on international platforms if you can’t defend you country. At least don’t mock your state."
An X user, @rakeshmosa17314, said that he used a trick similar to Asif’s during his “major project presentation". Another user said that the minister needs hiring aid.
A retired Pakistan army officer a day ago warned his country to rethink against attacking India as they have mere six lakh soldiers. But beyond the physical strength, a look at how India and Pakistan have recently projected themselves on international forums says a lot more than meets the eye.
While social media users are having a field day with Khawaja Asif’s statements, India’s envoy to US, Vinay Kwatra, received applause. When a CNN anchor asked Kwatra if it is a religious war between Pakistani Muslims and Indian Hindus, the envoy answered, “It’s India’s attack on terrorists who killed our civilians."
Meanwhile, Asif was responded with a sharp reaction by CNN anchor Becky Anderson. When he said that he got to know about Indian missiles being shot down in Pakistan through social media, Anderson quickly interjected, saying, “I’m sorry, we didn’t ask you here to talk about social media content. I’m asking specifically for the evidence, details. For example, was any Chinese equipment used to down these Rafale jets, as I understand you are alleging to be?"
Days before this Pakistan’s defence minister sent shockwaves when he admitted on Sky News that their country has a history of supporting, training and funding terrorist organisations as “dirty work" for the West.
“You do admit, sir, that Pakistan has had a long history of backing and supporting and training and funding these terrorist organisations," the anchor reconfirmed.
“Well, we have been doing this dirty work for the United States for about three decades, you know, and the West, including Britain," replied Asif.
