‘Khet mein tank, jeet ka prank’: Pakistan's Shehbaz Sharif ridiculed for airbase visit after PM Modi’s Adampur tour, netizens call it ‘TikTok war PR stunt’

NEW DELHI: A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Punjab’s Adampur airbase to spice up troop morale following India’s decisive ‘Operation Sindoor’ in opposition to Pakistan, the neighbouring Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif tried an identical transfer. He visited Pasrur and Sialkot airbases (or what’s left of them) to declare an alleged “victory” underneath the theatrically named “Operation Bunyan al-Marsoos.”But the Pakistani PR try backfired. Social media exploded with memes, calling Sharif a “copycat,” mocking the barren backdrop of his speech from atop a tank, and asking whether or not he was addressing troopers or scarecrows on a area.“Shehbaz Sharif’s obsession with India is unreal. Modi visits a real airbase, Shehbaz rushes to a random farm like: ‘Look! No damage here!’ From PM to PR clown, Shehbaz is the only leader who treats national security like a TikTok trend,” one person posted.In the viral video of his visit, flanked by Pakistan military chief common Asim Munir and what seemed to be borrowed tanks, Sharif boldly claimed Pakistan had “defeated India,” framing it as revenge for 1971. That’s when the memes actually took off.“War khud hi announce karo, khud hi jeet jao, aur khud hi tali bhi baja lo, kya baat hai Pakistan!” a person joked.“PM Shehbaz Sharif: ‘We have won the war.’ Meanwhile, even their GPS can’t find the airstrip,” quipped one other.While PM Modi walked shoulder-to-shoulder with IAF personnel and was pictured beside S-400 methods and MiG-29 fighters, Sharif’s visuals featured him standing solo atop a tank in what customers known as a “crop field.” No runway, no radar, no plane — simply dusty floor and declarations.“Picture of Shehbaz Sharif from Kirana Hills,” mocked one person, referencing unverified studies of a nuclear radiation leak within the area — which India has denied placing.“They will do everything India does, even if they don’t have the resources,” one other added.The trolling continued with customers dubbing the Pakistani chief as “PR Minister” and drawing parallels with Bollywood and sitcom characters. Clips from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, Gangs of Wasseypur, and Welcome have been edited to mock the speech.“Udit Bhai feat,” wrote a person, referencing the viral “Welcome” meme.“Modi to Shehbaz Sharif,” one other captioned a Gangs of Wasseypur clip displaying a personality laughing uncontrollably.The Pakistani PMO posted filtered photographs of Sharif with troops however conspicuously averted any pictures of runways or airstrips, a reality not misplaced on on-line commentators, lots of whom consider this confirms the heavy harm inflicted by India throughout Operation Sindoor.India has denied Pakistan’s counter-claims of downing jets or damaging airbases. PM Modi’s touchdown in a Hercules plane and speech from a completely operational airstrip was seen as a mic-drop second.“Shehbaz Sharif trying to copy Modi is like a school kid copying homework but forgetting the main question,” a meme learn.Notably, this isn’t Sharif’s first Modi mimicry. After Modi restructured India’s National Security Advisory Board with a former RAW chief, Sharif made headlines for appointing ISI chief Gen Asim Malik as NSA. His speeches post-terror assaults typically echo PM Modi’s tone – minus the viewers, influence, or airpower.“From Kirana Hills to copycat thrills, Shehbaz Sharif’s only battlefield is Twitter,” one person mentioned.India’s Operation Sindoor, launched after Pakistan’s drone and missile assaults, reportedly broken a number of airbases throughout Pakistan. International media like The New York Times and The Washington Post acknowledged India’s higher hand.PM Modi, addressing IAF personnel, declared, “Ghar mein ghus ke maarenge,” whereas Sharif was left warding off on-line laughter.
