Imran Khan's 'Kashmir Affairs' min makes a right-royal fool of himself on Pak TV; trolled

The ‘great’ knowledge of history among the Pakistan cabinet ministers was revealed in an interview on Thursday, which showed the country's so-called Kashmir Affairs Minister share some "historical" facts about the Siachen war.

Talks about ‘pressurising’ India

As soon as the video landed on Twitter, netizens from India, as well as Pakistan, trolled the minister for his knowledge about the momentous Siachen war - that ended with Indian troops snatching control of the northern glacier after beating Islamabad. While some lauded his confidence while making such an erroneous statement, others mocked him for talking about recapturing Kashmir with such poor knowledge to history and geography.
