While fulfilling her role of promoting “cultural similarities” between Pakistan and India, Zainab Abbas –acclaimed sports presenter— has reportedly left India citing ‘safety concerns’, following allegations of making ‘anti-hindu’ statements on social media. According to sources, Zainab Abbas was recently in India to cover the ICC World Cup. However, her stay took an unexpected turn when an Indian lawyer filed a complaint against her with accusations of making derogatory remarks on social media platforms against India and the Hindu religion. Zainab Abbas has categorically denied the allegations and maintains that she has been unjustly targeted. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has also been drawn into the controversy, as some sources suggest that the organization was unable to prevent Zainab’s deportation due to what they perceive as “Indian propaganda”. Sources close to her assert that she has been falsely accused and that her past social media activity was taken out of context.
