A Muslim baseball commentator who left India unexpectedly earlier this week has denied being asked to do so.
Abbas claimed that the online comments made her feel” frightened and afraid.”
She also expressed regret to those who had been hurt by the content.
” I recognize and sincerely regret the harm done by the articles that were made public. In a statement posted on X( previously Twitter ), Abbas said,” I want to make it clear that they do not represent my values or who I am today.
Abbas was a member of the International Cricket Council’s( ICC ) digital team that covered the current World Cup matches. She had covered Pakistan’s World Cup opening match against the Netherlands when she arrived in India next year. She was scheduled to travel to Bengaluru, Chennai, and Ahmedabad to watch her country’s different games. On Saturday, Pakistan may face India in Ahmedabad.
Relations between the two nations are uncomfortable; since gaining their independence in 1947, the neighbors have engaged in three wars.
Abbas received criticism from American social media users after a policeman complaint was filed against her last week in the capital city of Delhi over her previous articles.
According to Advocate Vineet Jindal’s problem, Abbas had an unofficial X( previously Twitter ) account from which she had” derogatory and provocative content” about India and the Buddhist religion. On X, these articles are no longer accessible, but photos went viral.
Mr. Jindal also cited a message written by Abbas about Kashmir’s right to self-determination on her latest X account. India and Pakistan are divided into the Alpine area, and both claim it fully.
Additionally, the attorney requested Abbas’ removal as an ICC presenter in a letter to an important official in the Board of Control for Cricket in India( BCCI ), the organization that oversees Indian cricket.
Although there was no” immediate threat to her health ,” Abbas stated in her speech that she felt she needed some” space and time to reflect on what had happened” and that her family and friends from Pakistan and India were worried.
There was rumor that she had been compelled to leave India after she left. She had, however, left for private reasons, according to an ICC voice who spoke with the BBC.
