Speaking in Parliament, Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar cited an article in the UK-based newspaper that read: "Pakistan Air Force: The undisputed king of the skies".

In a recent incident dubbed "Operation Sindoor," Pakistan's Finance Minister Ishaq Dar praised the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for allegedly downing an Indian drone, citing a report from a Pakistani news channel. However, the claim was quickly debunked by Indian media and fact-checkers in Pakistan, revealing that the video Dar referenced was actually from an incident in Yemen in 2019, not related to any India-Pakistan conflict. This misinformation led to significant embarrassment for Dar and highlighted the ongoing issue of fake news being used to stoke tensions between the two nations. The incident underscores the importance of verifying information before sharing it, especially in sensitive geopolitical contexts.
