A Pakistani journalist has become an 'internet sensation' after his anti-India rant - that aired on a local channel - went viral.

Reporting from Lahore, the clip shows the journalist criticising India for threatening to ban export of tomatoes to Pakistan.


Recently, Indian government threatened to ban the export after the Pulwama terror attacks.

Terror group, Jaish-e-Mohammed, claimed responsibility for the attack.


As per social media traditions, netizens reacted to the clip - poking fun at the man for his threatening yet amusing monologue.

Throughout the clip, oddly enough, the journalist uses the phrase "Tauba, Tauba" (loosely translated meaning asking for repentance).

It wasn't long before #TaubaTauba started trending on Twitter, becoming fodder for hilarious memes using Bollywood songs, who popularly used the word 'tauba' in their songs:
