Pakistan's former foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khur had to face an embarrassing situation during a live interview when she was fact-checked on-camera. The incident happened when she tried to call a global terrorist a 'common Pakistani citizen'.

Where did all this happen?

In an interview given to Qatar's leading international news channel Al Jazeera, Hina Rabbani Khur was presenting Pakistan's side on India's 'Operation Sindoor' carried out on May 7. In this operation, india targeted many terrorist hideouts in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

Hina Rabbani Khur accuses India

During the interview, former pakistan Foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khur accused india regarding Hafiz Abdul Rauf and said, "I am saying this with full responsibility and proof, which has been shared with the whole world, that the person is not who india is saying. There are lakhs of Abdul Raufs in Pakistan."

Hina Khur showed the viral picture of Hafiz Abdul Rauf present in the funeral of the killed terrorists and claimed that india is accusing the wrong person, but during the interview itself, the journalist intervened and told that the Pakistani army neither called this picture fake nor denied it in its press conference after Operation Sindoor.

The journalist immediately interrupted Hina Khur and said, "The Pakistani army itself has issued the national identity card of this person. The same ID number is registered in the name of terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf, who is on the US banned list. That is, this person is the same person whom the US has declared a terrorist." The journalist also said that the pakistan army is defending this person.

Heena said this in clarification

Hina Khur tried to answer and said, "The Pakistani army is defending the person who is in the photo, not the person who has been banned by the US." On this, the journalist once again clarified that the identity of both is the same, because the ID numbers of both are the same.

As soon as Hafiz Abdul Rauf's picture came out, the Pakistani army tried to cover it up and called him a common citizen, but the army's own spokesperson revealed his real identity in a press conference.

What did ISPR say?

Major General ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, director General of the pakistan Army's ISPR (Inter-Services Public Relations), claimed that the person who led the funeral prayers was a cleric, a member of the pakistan Markazi Muslim League (PMML) and had three daughters and a son. He said that this person is an ordinary Pakistani citizen, not a terrorist.
