Fahad Mustafa slammed Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle for criticizing Waqar Younis in an statement. Harsha had demanded an apology from Waqar as well.
Mohammad Rizwan had prayed during the match between traditional rivals Pakistan and India. Commenting in a show after Pakistan’s historic victory, Waqar Younis commented on this. He said that Praying on middle of the Hindu crowed was the best thing done by Rizwan.
Waqar Younis’s statement went viral on social media. However most users called it ‘sectarianism’ and accused him of bringing religion into the game.
Harsha Bhogle also commented over it and said that Waqar’s words were “terrible”.
According to Harsha, cricketers are the brand ambassadors of their sport, so they should be more responsible.
Pakistani actor Fahad Mustafa retweeted the comment, showed the Indian commentator the other side of the picture. He drew attention to the negative image of Muslims in Bollywood.
Appreciating Rizwan’s performance of prayers during the game, Waqar apologized for his statement, calling his words “unintentional”.
He says in those passionate moments, I inadvertently utter some words that are not for hurting people’s feelings. He wrote in his tweet, I’m sorry about that, it was a mistake.
