BJP calls out Pakistan deputy PM Ishaq Dar's ‘king of the skies' gaffe, posts video: ‘Stupid stuff'
Bharatiya Janata Party leaders have called out Pakistan for propagating lies after Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister Ishaq Dar, quoting a fake and an edited headline of UK-based newspaper The Telegraph, claimed victory over India inside the country's Senate. BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said Pakistan's 'propaganda is quickly falling apart'. He said the claim made in the fake image of the newspaper was fact-checked by the local newspaper Dawn and deemed false. He also shared a video of Ishaq Dar making claims in support of Pakistani forces in Pakistan's Senate. "Pakistan's propaganda is quickly falling apart, exposing a web of lies and desperation. In a blatant attempt to save face, Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar misled the country's Senate by claiming that The Telegraph had declared the Pakistan Air Force as the "Undisputed King of the Skies." The claim was so outrageous that even Dawn, Pakistan's own leading newspaper, felt compelled to fact-check and debunk it," Amit Malviya posted on X. BJP leader Rajeev Chandrasekhar also reacted to the issue. He also took a dig at the Congress, saying "only Rahul's Congress", apart from the Pakistan Army, 'operates on the sole premise of 'people are fools, so let's just lie'. On X, Chandrasekhar said, "Head scratchingly stupid stuff from Paks overfed, overmedalled Generals I hv said this before and cant help say this again - Apart from Pak Army, only one other organizatn operates on sole premise of "people are fools so lets just lie" - that is Rahuls Congress." Chandrasekhar's statement came in response to the post shared by the Fact Check Unit of the Press Information Bureau (PIB) on the social media platform X. The PIB Fact Check has revealed that an image circulating on social media, allegedly showing the front page of UK-based newspaper The Telegraph with the headline 'Pakistan Air Force: The undisputed king of the skies', is fake and AI-generated. It clarified that the British publication has never published any such article. On Thursday, Ishaq Dar praised the country's air force by quoting a fake page of The Telegraph. In his address to Pakistan's Senate, Dar said, "Telegraph writes Pakistan Air Force is the undisputed king of the skies." Pakistan newspaper The Dawn's iVerify Pakistan team investigated the content, found discrepancies in the viral photo, and determined that the information was false. It analysed through its tools and checked the British Publication 'The Daily Telegraph' to see if it had shared any such news story. Posts from multiple users across social media have been sharing the photo since May 10, allegedly showing the front page of The Telegraph newspaper declaring the Pakistan Air Force the "King of the Skies" amid the recent escalation with India. However, no such article was published in the newspaper, and the screenshot is fake, Dawn reported. While analysing the viral image, Dawn found multiple discrepancies, including spelling errors, mistyped and jumped sentences and language inconsistencies. Words like "Fyaw..." instead of "Force" and "preformance" instead of "performance" are incorrect, "Aur Force" appears instead of "Air Force" and "advancemend" instead of "advancement" is incorrect. These typographical and spelling mistakes are inconsistent with the editorial standards of a mainstream newspaper, Dawn reported. The layout of the page was compared to the official version of The Telegraph. The image of the article is fake and no such article has been published by the UK-based publication.

Robbie Keane's Ferencvaros lose Hungarian cup final on penalties
The double dream is over for Robbie Keane. The former Ireland skipper saw his Ferencvaros side lose the Hungarian cup final on 4-3 penalties on Wednesday night to Paks. Paks took the lead through Barna Toth before the break in the Magyar Kupa decider. Third-placed in the league, the underdogs led until the dying moments when Lenny Joseph equalised and brought the game to extra time. After a scoreless extra 30 minutes, the game went to a shoot-out, with Keane's side ultimately losing out. "They didn't have any serious chances apart from the goal," Keane said. "Before the break, you should not concede a goal from such a mistake. In the second half, we played with the upper hand, because we made good use of the open areas on the wings, but the last quality pass was missing from our game, which is the most important thing in football." "I would never blame anyone for a missed penalty," he continued. "It can be a terrible feeling, but I told my players to remember this feeling so they never have to go through it again." Keane added that from Thursday they will focus on the remaining two league matches to win the Hungarian championship. It would be the seventh title in a row for the Hungarian heavyweights. The Dubliner's side currently hold a three-point lead over second-place Puskás Akadémia with two games remaining. A victory this weekend against Fehervar would seal the championship. Keane previously led Maccabi Tel Aviv to the 2023–24 Israeli Premier League title.

Heartbreak for Robbie Keane as Ferencváros lose cup final on penalties
Updated at 22.11 IT WAS A disappointing night for Robbie Keane, as his Ferencváros side lost the Hungarian cup final 4-3 on penalties against Paks. Paks, who are third in the Hungarian league, took the lead through Barna Tóth on the brink of half-time in the Magyar Kupa final. The underdogs led until second-half stoppage time, when a goal from French forward Lenny Joseph brought the game to extra time. The match remained all square before the league leaders were beaten in the climactic shootout. Advertisement Keane's side could still end the season on a high. They currently hold a three-point lead over second-place Puskás Akadémia with two games remaining. A win on Sunday against 10th-place Fehérvár would see Ferencváros secure the league title for a seventh consecutive season. Hungary's most successful club have won 35 titles in total, well ahead of the next best (MTK Budapest with 23). Keane took over from Pascal Jansen as manager last January with the team in second. They have enjoyed an upturn in fortune since then, with four league victories from four along with progress to the final, leading to the Tallaght native recently being recognised as the league's manager of the month for April. The Dubliner previously guided Maccabi Tel Aviv to the 2023–24 Israeli Premier League title before stepping down as manager. Keane also briefly was in charge at the Indian side ATK in 2018, and also had spells on the coaching staff with Ireland, Middlesbrough and Sam Allardyce's four-game spell as Leeds manager. Elsewhere, Bologna won the Italian Cup tonight after beating AC Milan 1-0 in Rome and ending a 51-year wait for a major trophy. Dan Ndoye scored the goal in the 53rd minute, which gave Bologna a historic victory, their first honour since last winning the cup in 1974. Additional reporting by AFP

Nani TROLLED For Justifying HIT 3 Success Meet Amid Rising India-Pak Tensions
Last Updated: Nani faced backlash for not cancelling HIT 3's success meet amid India-Pakistan tensions. His speech urging not to give Pakistan the "satisfaction" was also criticised online. Nani, who was recently seen in HIT 3, was slammed online for not cancelling the success meet of his film amid the rising tensions between India and Pakistan. Furthermore, his speech at the event – where he urged his followers not to give Pakistan the 'satisfaction" of cancelling a press meet – was slammed by a section of social media users. At a time when almost every possible release or events are being postponed, Nani choosing to host HIT 3 success meet was criticised by many social media users. Once on the stage, the actor explained as to why one he decided to go ahead with the event. Acknowleding the rising tension between the two nations, Nani said at the event in Hyderabad, 'Let us talk about what's happening in the country. Operation Sindoor and what followed next. I was speaking to the team today about whether it's okay to have a success event in a sensitive time like this. But I immediately felt that the situation was sensitive because those people (terrorists) tried to create a problem for us. Our Indian Army responded to them with focus, in a dignified manner." His later part of the speech didn't sit well with select netizens. He said, 'Let's not give them the satisfaction of even feeling that a success meet in some part of India was cancelled due to what they did. We have the responsibility of making a statement and showing them they weren't able to touch us. Let's salute the Indian Armed Forces and respect everyone fighting on the front lines. We are able to leave our homes and function normally only because of them." As the video went viral, Reddit users shared their varied thoughts. 'This is what happens when lot of people think these people are gods. They start believing it themselves," wrote a user, slamming Nani. Another added, 'Indeed it could have been avoided atleast by 1 week. Such a L move by Nani." A social media offered fair explanation into the matter: 'I'll play the devil's advocate here: If we stop our activities that should be ongoing normally, it would be like Pak had made an impact disrupting our natural flow of things. I've seen Paks on twitter celebrating that they stopped IPL from happening. Ofcourse no one gives two shits about Hit 3 in pak that's why Nani's statement feels ridiculous. But I get the base sentiment he's trying to say." 'Why t* should people stop doing their work because of a terrorist country? what even is this argument?," a Nani fan chipped in. Nani has yet to react to the controversy over his speech. First Published:
