However, her lies were caught by the netizens who claimed that the video is from the Obstacle course which took place at the 60th World Military Pentathlon Championship in Brazil in the year 2014. Another user pointed out that Pakistan was not even a part of the competition. The tweet posted on Saturday night has gone viral on social media with almost 6000 retweets and 3,500 likes with a majority of them schooling the journalist for her fake claims. However, many of her followers easily agreed with the journalist and started praising the country for "doing extremely well" in the race.
Have a look at some of the reactions:
Certainly there's a fifth gen warrior behind the labeling, it's hard to identify the athletes as Pakistanis... Original video link is here https://t.co/o2bXKnLtyH
