A walk-and-talk interview featuring a young boy from Bihar, Muhammad Kaif, has gone viral after he delivered a bold anti-war message amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan. The clip, which has garnered over four million views, shows Kaif responding calmly and rationally to a reporter’s provocative question about whether Pakistan should be destroyed.
“There are people there, and here too. There are Muslims and Hindus, same as here. Everyone is human. Then why kill everyone?” Kaif stated, rejecting any support for war. The reporter appeared unsettled and pressed Kaif further, suggesting he should feel ashamed for not condemning Pakistan. Kaif, however, remained composed and countered, criticizing divisive “Hindu-Muslim news” and questioning the motives behind such questions. “Taught? I have a brain,” he replied when asked who had influenced his views.
The interview took place in the aftermath of India’s recent airstrikes in Pakistan, following a deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), which resulted in 26 deaths. India accused Pakistan-based actors without providing evidence, a claim strongly denied by Islamabad.
In response, India escalated tensions by closing the Wagah border, suspending the Indus Waters Treaty, and revoking Pakistani visas. Pakistan reacted by sealing its side of the border and warning that any disruption to water flow would be treated as an “act of war.”

The conflict intensified further when Indian airstrikes reportedly hit multiple Pakistani cities, including Muzaffarabad, Kotli, Muridke, and Bahawalpur. Pakistan’s military retaliated swiftly, downing five Indian fighter jets — four of which were Rafale jets recently acquired from France — and conducting precise strikes on Indian military targets.
Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, Pakistan’s military spokesperson, confirmed the successful operations, stating, “Pakistan could have shot down 10 Indian fighter jets but chose to exercise restraint.” Notably, Indian mainstream media avoided reporting on the losses, with The Hindu retracting an earlier story about the downing of Indian aircraft.
Western media, however, picked up the developments. A senior French intelligence source confirmed to CNN that one Rafale had been downed — marking the first combat loss of the advanced French fighter. Analysts see the clash as a significant testing ground for both Chinese and Western military technologies, especially after Pakistan’s induction of Chinese J-10C jets.
In another significant event, the Pakistani military neutralized 25 Israeli-made Harop drones — loitering munitions deployed by India — using both electronic and conventional defense systems. According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), these drone incursions were a desperate move by India following Pakistan’s strong retaliatory strikes on May 6 and 7.
As tensions continue to rise, Pakistani citizens, particularly in Karachi, have rallied in large numbers to show support for their armed forces. Security sources confirmed that at least
