The claim

A viral video shows a Pakistani pastor speaking about and condemning the 2023 Jaranwala rampage. The woman in the clip is the daughter of the Pakistani fighter pilot and Pakistan Air Force (PAF) Wing Commander Mervyn Leslie Middlecoat. The claim adds that she has given other interviews, in which she said she is proud of how her father fought against Hindus and that she is the descendant of Indian Christians from Punjab who migrated to Pakistan. Lastly, the claim urges people not to show sympathy to Christians in Pakistan “as it is their karma to pay for their deeds”.
