Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has sparked anger by supporting pacer Haris Rauf’s provocative gesture during the Asia Cup clash in Dubai. Rauf made a Rafale-downing sign while facing boos from the crowd. Asif claimed, “6/0 will not be forgotten by India,” referring to Pakistan’s false claim of downing Indian fighter jets. India has denied the claim, with Dassault calling it incorrect. Experts said Pakistan is trying to deflect from its defeat as India chased 172 with ease, powered by Abhishek Sharma’s 74 and a 105-run stand with Shubman Gill. Fans called Pakistan’s actions “humiliating and insensitive.” (PC: Times Now)
