While the on-field rivalry between India and Pakistan is not a mystery, the geopolitical tensions are not unknown too. The two neighbouring countries have been sharing a tense relationship for years now and the Narendra Modi-led government has also not been able to bring things to normalcy. While it is generally the political leaders taking a dig at each other, former Pakistan cricketers also get involved in these banters.
The latest to take a jibe at the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is former Pakistan opener, Saeed Anwar. The former cricketer called Modi a “shaitaan” while addressing a group of people at a local mosque. Anwar also took a dig at the Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
A video has been shared by a verified Twitter handle Pakistan Untold which shows Anwar delivering a sermon before a huge gathering at an unknown location and taking a swipe at PM Modi and Shah for their past gestures of stopping their speech which coincided with Azaan.
In the video, Anwar can be heard saying, "It doesn't matter how many times you stop your speech for Azan, you will remain a Satan-possessed Hindu."
Notably, P M Narendra Modi, who had earlier refused to wear a skull cap offered by some Muslim leaders, had paused his speech after hearing the call for Azaan from a nearby mosque while addressing a rally in Gujarat.
Similarly, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also briefly stopped his speech during a rally in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as 'Azaan' (Muslim call to prayer) was going on at a nearby mosque last year.
Both PM Modi and Shah were hailed by the public, attracting a huge round of applause from them and chanting of slogans for stopping their speech after hearing the Muslim call for prayer.
