Islamabad (Pakistan) – Former Pakistani cricketer Abdul Razzaq has apologised for his offensive statement about Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Razzaq apologised after he received widespread criticism from Pakistan itself after his statement was aired. Razzaq however clarified that he mentioned Aishwarya’s name due to a slip of the tongue and he is very ashamed about this incident.

We were talking about cricket yesterday, and I meant to give a different example, but Aishwarya’s name slipped out of my mouth. I’m sorry 🙏 #AishwaryaRai #AbdulRazzaq pic.twitter.com/LKp2uFNxXm

What did Razzaq say ?

Speaking at an event at the Marriott Hotel in Karachi, Razzaq compared the Pakistan Cricket Board to Aishwarya saying, “If you think that I will get married to Aishwarya (Rai) and then have good and virtuous kids, then that can never happen. So you have to correct your intentions first.”

This is why don’t lecture Sehwag or Gambhir when they treat these Pakistanis with contempt and scorn that they deserve.

Editorial Perspective

Giving silly excuses like slip of tongue is nothing but a lie. Every Indian knows that the real reason behind such statements is hatred towards India and Hindus.
