(REUTERS) ‘From ‘it’s all over social media’ to ‘I can’t hear you properly’,” an X user wrote while posting a snippet of the miner’s interview with an anchor of Al Arabiya, a Saudi Arabia-based news channel. “Can you share evidence, and do you have details on the attack?” the anchor asks Asif. To which, the miner pauses for a second and then fumbles for a moment before saying, “I can’t hear you properly.” The anchor, speaking loudly, asks, “Can hear me now, miner.” He replies asking her to speak loudly. Interaction with CNN anchor:Just a few days earlier, the miner failed to provide evidence when asked about Pakan’s claims of shooting down five Indian fighter jets. “It’s all over social media. On Indian social media, not on our social media,” he replied, adding, “The debris of these jets fell… and it’s all over Indian media,” he replied when asked to provide proof. The anchor interrupted and remarked, “You’re the defence miner, sir. The reason to talk to you today, sir, is not to talk about content all over social media. I’m sorry.” Tensions between India and Pakan escalated, resulting in exchanges of gunfire and airstrikes after Operation Sindoor on May 7. In the early morning of Wednesday, India targeted nine terror infrastructure sites in “Pakan and Pakan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir”, adding that these were the places “from where terror attacks against India have been planned and directed.” The strike was a retaliation for the deadly attack in Pahalgam on April 22 that claimed the lives of 25 Indian civilians and one Nepali citizen. In a statement, the Indian government clarified that no Pakani military facilities were targeted during the operation.
