‘Credibility crashing faster than a Rafale’, Indian journalist loses it against Pakistanis on tv show
British journalist and media personality Piers Morgan invited former Foreign Minister of Pakistan Hina Rabbani Khar, Indian journalist Barkha Dutt, podcaster Shehzad Ghias Shaikh from The Pakistan Experience, and Indian YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia to his show Piers Morgan Uncensored.
The show was aired last night and quickly notched up hundreds of thousands of views.
The discussion was overwhelmingly one-sided from the beginning, with Morgan, along with the Indian representatives, launching into a tirade against Khar and Shaikh.
Despite India’s failure to provide any conclusive evidence linking Pakistan to the April 22 Pahalgam attack, and India’s use of the accusations to justify recent aggression in Pakistan which resulted in the death of civilians, the discussion was heavily framed around a Westernised portrayal of Pakistan solely as a terrorist state, without acknowledging similar elements or actions within India.
Neitzans also commented on Barkha Dutt’s expressions throughout the show, which, in Khar’s words, were “theatrics”, as she continued to switch from dramatic eye-rolls to scoffing and constant interruption of the Pakistani speakers.
"Nothing has gone down faster than a Rafale, except Barkha Dutt’s credibility," Ghias said at one point, highlighting the misinformation she spread during the Pak-India escalation as a journalist, and jogging her memory of previously condemning Modi’s extremism in India to now becoming his government’s mouthpiece.
Similar dramatic reactions came from the young Indian YouTuber, also known as Beer Biceps, who appeared on the show with large printed pictures of Al Qaeda’s founder Osama Bin Laden, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, and a photo that India claims is of US-designated terrorist Hafiz Abdul Rauf - a claim Pakistan has denied, stating the image is misidentified.
Ghias laughed it off: "I've now figured out why he's called Beer Biceps - because what he said sounds like the most drunk sh*t I've heard in my life."

It's mad hilarious that Barkha Dutt's been in the game for over three decades, worked her way up through the ranks, inserted herself into active war zones... only to find that she's on the same level of the business as the guy who's been doing this on YouTube. https://t.co/VsTUBQ1YoD pic.twitter.com/haQVDbpFx0
