ISLAMABAD (LAHORE MIRROR) — The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has dismissed a viral video allegedly showing Defence Minister Khawaja Asif comparing Pakistan’s progress with India, calling it fake and AI-generated.
The ministry said Asif never made the remarks attributed to him in the nearly one-minute clip, which appeared to show him speaking at a press conference.
The video spread rapidly on social media and was also reported by Indian media outlets, including News18.
Sharing the clip on X, the ministry warned users to verify information through official sources, stressing that the voice in the video was artificially generated.
This news is FAKE and the voice in video is AI generated.
