Former cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir has said that Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria’s remark that he was mistreated by a few teammates for being a Hindu showed the real face of the neighbouring country.
The cricketer-turned-politician said, if a sportsperson could be meted out such treatment, one can only imagine what Hindus, Sikhs and other minorities have to go through in Pakistan.
Former pacer Shoaib Akhtar first revealed Kaneria faced discrimination at the hands of a few Pakistani cricketers, who were reluctant to even eat with him because he is a Hindu.
Kaneria supported Akhtar’s claim. Kaneria is only the second Hindu to play for Pakistan after his maternal uncle Anil Dalpat, took 261 wickets in 61 Tests at an average of 34.79.
