Pakistani televangelist Aftab Iqbal is being criticized for making foolish remarks against Pakistani captain Babar Azam, who has the hearts of millions of cricket fans.
“Have you forgotten where you started from and where God took you so quickly? You should have buried your head in shame,” he said to Babar. He urged him to select a “good team” with Haris Sohail, Faheem Ashraf, Imad Wasim and Shoaib Malik, whom he should “beg” to come back.
Aftab Iqbal, who hosts Khabarhar on SAMAA TV, appears to dislike Babar Azam. On his broadcast on October 8, he went on a rage against the cricketer, declaring that Babar is no longer a star. “He’s not a star in my opinion.” Not because he dropped receptions or is underperforming. But it’s because he has an ego problem! “He’s started [grouping] with players,” he added to a deafening silence from the audience.
