Renowned international journalist and documentary producer Yalda Hakim, who anchors world news for Sky News, powerfully exposed Pakistan’s false propaganda during a tense interview with Pakistan’s High Commissioner to the UK, Mohammad Faisal. With clarity and composure, Hakim dismantled Pakistan’s claims using hard facts, leaving the diplomat visibly uncomfortable.
The interview took place during a discussion on the India-Pakistan conflict and the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack, which claimed the lives of 26 people. Faisal attempted to defend Pakistan by saying his country was willing to conduct an “internal investigation” and “cooperate in the probe.” Hakim countered these statements with firm historical references.
“Pakistan’s first choice was peace,” said Mohammad Faisal, emphasizing Pakistan’s readiness for international investigation into the Pahalgam attack.
Yalda Hakim responded by reminding him that, “In 2001, after the Indian Parliament attack, Pakistan was invited to cooperate. In 2008, after the Mumbai attacks, again, Pakistan was asked to assist. In 2016 and 2019, following the Uri and Pulwama attacks, Pakistan was offered opportunities to participate in investigations. In all instances, Pakistan gave only superficial cooperation and never took real steps to dismantle terrorist groups operating from its soil.”
Yalda Hakim’s relentless questioning left the Pakistani diplomat scrambling. Her bold journalism not only exposed Pakistan’s weak defense but also highlighted how facts can dismantle false narratives.
Following the interview, Hakim received widespread praise on social media. One user commented, “She ate him alive,” while another wrote, “Where can we watch the full interview? She’s asking real questions, not just playing to emotions.”
This exchange underscores the power of fearless journalism rooted in truth and evidence. Yalda Hakim’s reporting continues to be a beacon of media integrity, holding powerful voices accountable.
