Breaking | Bangladeshi cricket Shakib-al-Hasan forced to apologise for attending Kali Pujo in Kolkata, fearing death threats from Islamists.
Shakib Al Hasan is a Bangladeshi international cricketer who was consistently ICC’s no.1 all rounder in all three formats of the game for a decade. He was ranked as the 2nd most valuable player of the century according to Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack.
‘Only for 2mins, I was in that Puja Pandal. I did not inaugurate it, I just lit the candle. As a conscious Muslim Man, I won’t ever do such a thing, perhaps going there was also wrong for me. If you feel it I am sorry for that. Please forgive me for this,’ Shakib al Hasan said.
The silence of ‘secular lobby’ is shocking. If an international cricketer is being targeted like this, imagine what the Hindus of Bangladesh must be facing: Shehzad, the Political Analyst, tells TIMES NOW.
Taslima Nasreen takes to Twitter to say that Bangladeshi cricket Shakib al Hasan should not have apologised for attending Kali Pujo in Kolkata.
