“Harbhajan, who was unaware that Tariq Jameel was a maulana, said ‘I am impressed with this man and want to follow his words’,” Inzamam-ul-Haq claimed in a viral video.
Former Pakistan group captain Inzamam-ul-Haq not too long ago angered former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh when he stated that the Indian cricketer was near changing to Islam after listening to Maulana Tariq Jameel. Harbhajan Singh was so offended at Inzamam-ul-Haq’s feedback that he took to social media website X to lash out at him.
A video goes viral on social media during which Inzamam-ul-Haq may be heard saying, “We had a room where prayers were conducted. Maulana Tariq Jameel used to visit us in the evening and lead us into a namaz. After a few days, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif, and Zaheer Khan also started coming. Four other Indian cricketers sat and watched us.”
“Harbhajan, who was unaware that Tariq Jameel was a maulana, said ‘I am impressed with this man and want to follow his words’,” Inzamam-ul-Haq added.
Inzamam-ul-Haq additional claimed that Harbhajan Singh stated, “Tumhe dekhke ruk jaata hu (I stop after seeing you) to which I replied ‘Mujhe dekhke kyu ruk jaate ho?’ (Why do you stop after seeing me?”
Harbhajan Singh replied to the video and debunked Inzamam-ul-Haq’s claims saying, “Yeh kon sa nasha pee kar baat kar raha hai? I am a proud Indian and proud Sikh..yeh Bakwaas log kuch bi bakte hai (What is he smoking? I am a proud Indian and proud Sikh. These nonsense people say anything).”

Due to political tensions between the 2 nations, India has not toured Pakistan since 2006. Since 2012, they’ve solely gone up in opposition to one another in ICC occasions. In the continuing ICC Men’s World Cup 2023, Rohit Sharma-led India beat Babar Azam-led Pakistan by seven wickets on the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
