Point 1) It's Tejas, not 'Teja'.
Point 2) Yes, we are taking a lot of time to design and develop a 4th gen supersonic fighter. But countries that cannot design a moped or rikshaw engine do not have any right to mock our delays.
Point 3) Actually, the first two Tejas fighters have been handed over to the IAF, and are presently undergoing flight tests to develop tactics and doctrines. Meanwhile, Pakistan is testing and developing this curiosity, the only flying machine ever developed in Pakistan:

is this necessary?

Yes, it is - for him. He is a Pakistani, who derives pride and self worth and identity only by deriding and mocking India's efforts to achieve what his country never can and never will.
