Sydney, May 12 (NationPress) Numerous global media channels have mocked Pakistan's clumsy attempt to replicate India's successful and well-executed press briefings regarding Operation Sindoor.
In recent days, India has organized a series of high-level joint press conferences in New Delhi. During these events, India's Foreign Secretary and senior military officials from the Army, Air Force, and Navy provided a comprehensive overview of the Indian Air Force's precise strikes deep within Pakistani territory. They also effectively countered Pakistan's misinformation campaign, presenting detailed evidence including photos, videos, and other materials.
The international community was captivated as India's top officials outlined New Delhi's robust response to Islamabad, demonstrating full operational coordination between air and ground forces and showcasing the nation's enhanced military capabilities.
In a bid to respond, Rawalpindi made a frantic effort to conduct similar media briefings led by the Director General of Inter-Services Public Relations (DGISPR) of Pakistan but ultimately fell flat.
According to a prominent Australian news channel, "The Pakistani press conference merely mirrored the Indian event, lacking any impressive visuals or supporting evidence for their allegations." They added that "viewers were left in stitches" after witnessing the straightforward claims made by DGISPR Lt. General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry.
Foreign media have also highlighted various social media reactions that ridicule Pakistan's attempts to parallel India's expertly conducted press events.
One user remarked, "Ridiculous. The Pakistan Army hosted a theatrical press conference claiming they struck targets in India—from Sirsa to Delhi. A blatant imitation of the Indian Army's style. But guess what? No evidence. No videos. Nothing. Are they performing a circus act?"
Another user commented, "They postponed the DG ISPR's press conference by four hours just to present this? Even a five-year-old in India could create a better PowerPoint during recess."
A user also posted, "Why is no Pakistani sharing the DG ISPR press conference? After India's intel-rich briefing, it resembles a failed school project."
Foreign media noted that while India is actively dismantling terror camps, downing jets, and neutralizing over 100 militants with videos, satellite imagery, and solid proof, Pakistan opted for "WhatsApp forwards and PowerPoint fantasies."
On Sunday, the Director General of Military Operations (DGMO) held a briefing showcasing a video of India's decisive airstrikes in Pakistani territory, which commenced with the Shiv Tandav Stotram, a choice celebrated by Indians worldwide.
Similarly, during Monday's briefing on Operation Sindoor, Air Marshal A K Bharti referenced a verse from the Ramcharitmanas.
One social media user remarked, "Yesterday, Shiv Tandav Stotram. Today, a quote from Ramcharitmanas. What a way to send a message to the enemy."
