Sky News anchor Yalda Hakim has earned widespread admiration, particularly within the global Indian diaspora, following her sharp and uncompromising interview with Pakistan’s Information Minister, Tarar. The exchange took place in the wake of India’s reported missile strikes on terrorist camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), and quickly gained international attention.
In the high-stakes interview, Hakim boldly challenged the Pakistani government’s narrative on terrorism. When Tarar attempted to portray Pakistan as a longstanding victim of terrorism, Hakim immediately countered by referencing a public statement made by Pakistan’s own defense minister — one that acknowledged the country’s well-documented history of sponsoring terrorism. The contradiction was pointed, and her rebuttal drew significant attention.
The conversation grew even more intense when Hakim raised a critical question: how was Osama Bin Laden able to live undetected in Abbottabad, just a short distance from a major military facility, until he was located and killed by U.S. forces? Her direct inquiry left little room for ambiguity.
Tarar tried to downplay the proximity of the compound to the military base, suggesting it was not nearby — a claim that quickly drew mockery online and was widely seen as evasive.
The interview has since gone viral, with social media users praising Hakim’s no-nonsense approach and her refusal to let vague responses slide. Her ability to hold Pakistan’s representatives accountable — especially on sensitive issues like terrorism — resonated deeply with audiences, particularly those in the Indian community across the globe.
Hakim’s fearless questioning style and insistence on factual clarity have positioned her as a standout journalist in a media landscape often criticized for soft-pedaling tough issues. Her performance in the interview is now being hailed as an example of journalism that holds power to account, regardless of geopolitical sensitivity.
