'Delusional Churan': Asim Munir applauds Pakistan’s U-19 win over India after bigger defeats, internet has a field day

A video of Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, recently elevated to the rank of Chief of Defence Forces, felicitating the Pakistan Under 19 cricket team for winning the Asia Cup final against India has gone viral on social media, triggering a wave of sharp sarcasm and ridicule.

In the clip, Munir is seen praising the junior cricket team, a gesture that many online users mocked as emblematic of Pakistan’s skewed priorities. The reactions were less about cricket and more about what critics described as Pakistan’s obsession with symbolic victories, particularly against India, amid far more serious political, military, and economic setbacks.

Several users pointed out that Pakistan has suffered repeated defeats to India in major tournaments in recent years, including the T20 World Cup 2024, Champions Trophy 2025, Asia Cup 2025 and Women’s World Cup. Others also linked the celebrations to Pakistan’s military humiliation during the May conflict with India.

“Small people with small happiness,” one user wrote, summing up the dominant tone of the responses.

Another comment took direct aim at Munir’s political dominance. “So Failed marshal has taken over the country completely. Can you show me a picture of any true democratic country where such thing happens? I am happy for Pakistan that Pakistanis are happy with the murder of democracy. This is good for India in long term.”
