“I’m openly challenging them: Sohaib Chaudhry was not afraid. He is not; he will never be. If someone is harming Pakistan. I’ll speak against him while staying within the boundaries of the law,” he said in the video.
'Will not spare those who attacked me'
“I don’t know if I can upload another video. But, if I can, I’ll strip Pakistan’s enemies naked. I’ll not spare those who attacked me. I’ll show you evidence of what they did,” he added.
The two YouTubers have been known for creating content related to India and Pakistan.

“In 1947, two countries got their independence. One of them progressed while the other did not. Why could that country not progress? Who’ll take that country ahead? All of us have to take that responsibility,” she said in her video.
