New Delhi: Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi slammed former Pakistani pacer Waqar Younis for his remarks made during India-Pakistan’s ICC T20 World Cup ‘Super 12’ game that took place on October 24.
In a tweet, the Rajya Sabha MP said, "Pakistan is a state of mind... a mental disease... And regardless of 'stature', anyone suffering from the disease displays common symptoms - be it Masood Azhar or Waqar Younis!"

"For a person of Waqar Younis' stature to say that watching Rizwan offering namaz in front of Hindus was very special to him, is one of the most disappointing things I have heard. A lot of us try hard to play such things down and talk up sport and to hear this is terrible," the tweet by Bhogle read.
Former India cricketers Aakash Chopra and Venkatesh Prasad had yesterday criticised Waqar Younis for his controversial remark that Pakistan opener Mohammad Rizwan offering namaz "in front of Hindus was very special to him".
During the drinks break of the match on Sunday, Rizwan offered namaz and the video has gone viral.

"Sabse achi baat jo Rizwan ne ki. Usne ground mein khade hoke Naamaz padhe, hinduon ke beech mein...So that was really something very very special for me. (What I liked the most is what Rizwan did. He stood in the middle of the ground and read the prayers, in front of the Hindus)," Waqar was cited as saying by Arya News.
The statement made by Waqar upset his fans and angered a few former Indian cricketers too.
