Islamabad, May 16 -- Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar has praised the country's air force by quoting a fake page of the UK-based The Daily Telegraph.

In his address to Pakistan's Senate on Thursday, Dar said, "Telegraph writes Pakistan Air Force is the undisputed king of the skies."
