Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, during his parliamentary speech in the national assembly, made a bizarre claim that Pakistani "cyber warriors" had hacked floodlights during Indian Premier League (IPL) matches and even gained access to Indian dam gates as part of a cyber attack on India.
Khawaja Asif's baseless remarks triggered reactions from netizens. One of the users said, "What is wrong with Pakistan at a root level? How are they so detached from reality?"
Another user cited a Dawn report claiming half of the population is mentally ill. "50% of pak population is mentally ill as per Dawn report. So you should just watch this jokers putting up a show for us," he said.
Another user said, "First pay your due electricity bill online."
Another user sarcastically said,"If switching off lights is a cyber triumph, then my 3 year old nephew is a global threat he once unplugged the Wi-Fi during a Zoom meeting."
Another user called it a "Laughing moment."
Notably, Pakistan continues to face severe nationwide electricity shortages.
