Since the former Pakistan player, Ramiz Raja took over as the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Raja has played on the front foot for cricket Pakistan. His fiery and most direct way of speaking has always made him talk of the town. It is rarely a moment when Ramiz Raja isn’t in the headlines for his brute answers to the media. However, this time Ramiz Raja went a way forward after the Asia cup final in Dubai between Sri Lanka and Pakistan. The former Pakistan player behaved very inappropriately on being asked a routine question.
While Ramiz Raja was leaving after Pakistan’s defeat against Sri Lanka. Pakistan who was playing the final of Asia Cup 2022 against Sri Lanka tasted a 23-run defeat. Although, all the other journalist present there were looking to have a final word on the defeat. Among many journalists, there was this Indian journalist which asked about his reaction to the match since he saw many crying faces leave the stadium. On this Ramiz Raja who was already saddened by the loss started counter-questioning and misbehaving.
Here’s what exactly happened on the ground
Journalist: “Awam badi nakhush hai. Unke lie koi Sandesh? (The people must be unhappy. Any message for them?)
Ramiz Raja: “Dekhie aap India se honge, aapke (awam) toh bohut khush honge.” (You must be from India, your people must be very happy).
Journalist: “Hum khush nahi hai. (No, we are not happy).”
Ramiz Raja: “Kaunsi awam? (Which people?)”
Journalist: “Maine dekha hai Pakistan k logo ko rote hue jate. Kya main ghalat bol raha hu Ramiz bhai? (I’ve seen Pakistani fans go back crying after the loss. Am I saying something wrong?”)
Ramiz Raja: “Aap awam ko generalise kar rahe hai. (You are generalizing ‘the people)
After this conversation, Raja was also seen abusing the journalist and also tried to snatch the mobile away.
