Pakistan’s defence minister, Khawaja Asif, has made a controversial claim that their “cyber warriors” were responsible for turning off the floodlights at a cricket stadium in India during an IPL match. Asif stated in the Pakistani assembly that these cyber attacks, including shutting off the lights and opening dam waters, were carried out by Pakistan’s youth. This claim was likely in reference to the IPL match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals on May 8, where the match was suspended due to a technical failure with the floodlights.
However, netizens were quick to criticize Asif for his outlandish claims, with many pointing out the implausibility of hacking into secure electrical systems like stadium floodlights. This is not the first time Asif has faced backlash for his statements, as he previously made unsubstantiated claims about shooting down Indian fighter planes during Operation Sindoor.
Overall, Asif’s claims have been met with skepticism and mockery on social media, with many questioning the validity of his statements and calling for evidence to support his assertions.
