Danish Kaneria slams Indian journalist's comments

Earlier, Arfa Khanum Sherwani had expressed embarrassment and shame over Indian fans' behaviour on X (formerly Twitter). In response to her tweet, Kaneria had asked her to come to Pakistan instead.

"Deplorable behaviour of many cricket fans during World Cup matches, makes me feel embarrassed &ashamed as an Indian. This petty, insecure & majoritarian approach towards sports which was meant to bring people together, is symbolic of India Modi-RSS have created in last one decade," Arfa wrote.

Kaneria, replying to her tweet, said, "Come to my country Pakistan if you are feeling ashamed to be an Indian. India doesn’t need people like you. I am sure many people in India will be happy to sponsor this trip."

BJP's Gaurav Bhatia hits out at Kaneria

Hitting out at Kaneria for his tweet against Arfa, BJP national spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia shredded the cricketer by warning him to not to 'trouble a fellow Indian'.

"Mr Danish Kaneria it would be nice if you could put your house in order first," Bhatia wrote.

"Arfa criticized our country, wrongly so, but our relationship is not defined by the religion we profess but by the country we love, our Bharat. Even when there is very little in common with her, I decide to stand with a fellow Indian over the common faith we both have. This will surely go a long way to show to every citizen that the bond of love for our country should always be stronger than the bond of religion," Bhatia went on to add.

"Never ever dare to trouble a fellow Indian otherwise you will also be thrown out of the arena like the cricket ball. Jai Hind," the BJP leader told Kaneria.

Kanria was quick to respond to Bhatia. "Mr Gaurav Bhatia, let people decide who will be thrown out of arena. You will not decide my fate. By the way, keep reading replies to this tweet. People are welcoming your support to Arfa Khanum," Kaneria said.
