India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024: India has once again defeated Pakistan in the tournament played in the T20 World Cup. However, former Pakistani cricketer Kamran Akmal made fun of the entire Sikh community by referring to Arshdeep Singh. As soon as Harbhajan Singh came to know about this, he slapped Kamran Akmal. Also told Kamran to keep his mouth shut and know what the Sikh community has done for him.
Seeing criticism on social media, Kamran Akmal immediately apologized to the Sikh community. Actually, in the India-Pakistan match played in New York, the last over from India was bowled by Arshdeep Singh. Pakistan had to score 18 runs to win in that over, but the team could score only 11 runs and lost the match by a margin of 6 runs. Later, while analyzing the match on a TV show broadcast in Pakistan, Kamran Akmal made fun of Sardar Ji 12 Baje Gaye Kya? While other panelists joined in his joke, they made even more indecent comments.
After watching the video, Harbhajan Singh got angry at Kamran Akmal and posted, “You should know the history of Sikhs before opening your stupid mouth, when the invaders kidnapped our mothers and sisters, we Sikhs saved them, it was done at 12 o'clock. Shame on you…”
Finally Kamran apologized
Following Harbhajan Singh's post and the massive criticism on social media, late on Monday night Kamran Akmal posted on Instagram and apologised to the Sikh community, writing, “I am deeply sorry for my recent comments. I sincerely apologise to Harbhajan Singh and the Sikh community. My words were inappropriate and disrespectful. I respect Sikhs around the world and it was never my intention to offend anyone.”
It is worth noting that even before this, an agenda was run by Pakistan regarding Arshdeep Singh, when his performance against Pakistan in the Asia Cup match was not good. When the Indian team lost to Pakistan in the 2021 T20 World Cup match, Pakistan tried to run an agenda against Mohammad Shami. However, the Indian people fully supported their players and took Pakistan to task.
