Moeed Pirzada draws ire for praising Indian attacks, claiming Pakistan lied about enemy losses

Journalist Moeed Pirzada came under fire for his controversial remarks criticising Pakistan’s handling of the recent conflict with India. In a video statement, Pirzada claimed that Pakistan was "losing the war" against India and that a ceasefire prevented national embarrassment.

He also drew comparisons between Indian lawmaker Shashi Tharoor and Bilawal Bhutto, praising Tharoor for his diplomatic prowess while accusing Bilawal of enjoying political privilege without personal struggle.

Pirzada referred to a story published by The New York Times, which reportedly stated that neither Pakistan nor India inflicted substantial damage on each other, contrary to official claims from both sides.

Citing satellite imagery, he asserted, “India did not suffer any substantial loss, and the missile attacks launched by Pakistan failed to cause any damage.”

He further claimed that the SCALP missile strikes launched by India on May 7 in Muridke and Bahawalpur successfully hit their intended targets.

Pirzada also alleged that India’s BrahMos missiles struck their designated locations in Pakistan.

According to him, Pakistan did not release any satellite imagery of its own strikes, while the Indian military presented images showing damage inflicted on Pakistani targets.

He claimed that Bholari and Nur Khan airbases sustained considerable damage, and he refuted Pakistani media reports that Udhampur Airbase in India was hit by Pakistani missiles.

Pirzada further alleged that during a National Command Authority (NCA) meeting, Pakistan had discussed the use of nuclear weapons, a development that, according to him, prompted the United States to pressure India into agreeing to a ceasefire.

He controversially stated that Indian missile strikes had the capability to cripple all major runways and motorways in Pakistan.

Pirzada also lauded the Indian government's decision to appoint Shashi Tharoor as its representative to present India’s narrative on the global stage, praising Tharoor’s intellect and diplomatic experience.

In contrast, he criticised Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, claiming he was “born with a golden spoon” and had faced “no real struggle” in life.

India’s deceit runs deep, but its dirtiest move is weaponizing pawns like Moeed Pirzada, those who sell their conscience to malign their own homeland, serving foreign agendas with borrowed words and buried shame. pic.twitter.com/ytbjIoTwZe

Barkha Dutt is so desperate to spread hate against Pakistan and label it a terrorist state that she'd even quote #MoeedPirzada to build her case.

P.s. not disappointed by Moeed's content, what he is doing to his motherland isn't much different from what he did to his father.

India’s old playbook, new puppets. Using sellouts like Moeed Pirzada to malign Pakistan is nothing but a desperate attempt to stay relevant in the narrative war. Traitors have no ideology—just a price tag pic.twitter.com/p1nTsqY6Kq

Moeed Pirzada is now the greatest hope for the Indians on somehow saving their war.

Let's be real. Moeed Pirzada is a traitor. Anyone who doesn't agree is either an idiot or complicit. https://t.co/n2O5yBNzbM
