Nothing like a bit of controversy to kick off the tour.

No idea, link added to OP.

You mean faux outrage? The West knows fully well why we can't trust Pak or Pak origin foreign citizens anymore & they are fully to blame!

Headley was reported multiple times in the US & also monitored(?) by UK before 26/11 - he was only caught in the net accidentally when he got in touch with Al Qaeda, you know because some lives are worth more  than others

If he is of Mirpuri origin... Like Adil Rashid..  Staple visa would be ideal. 

All PoK walas are Indians. 

 

If he is Pakjabi then give him Khwaja treatment ( even though he is a Karachi born)

if we're not running away from Eng we're stopping their lot coming to India - love it

it's getting spicy, this from the Telegraph UK :

 

Forget the notion that Shoaib Bashir’s visa hold-up is the upshot of some unfortunate clerical oversight. His paperwork has been in the hands of Indian bureaucrats for over six weeks. The only plausible explanation is that Narendra Modi’s fiercely pro-Hindu regime is making an example of a British Muslim of Pakistani ancestry, one variable over which he has no control. And so, on the eve of the proudest moment of his young career, the rookie off-spinner is stranded in diplomatic limbo. It is a shameful humiliation of a blameless player, and one that his England team-mates should punish in Hyderabad by refusing to take to the field.

This is nonsense .... I mean the whole Pakistan team was playing here in the WC.

 

Whoever is doing this is demented and should be fired. This has no bearing on the India-Pak issues.

Rehan Ahmed is also of Pakistani origin. How did he get it ?

 

[MediumPacer]

Got to give it to the Brits ,after repeated invasions of Muslim lands for nearly a thousand years ,they care.Very few have such ability.

I am liking it just because british Pakistani and Pakistani as usual are doing RR on social media. BTW its good strategy Pakistani no matter where they are/were born should be punished for being Pakistani.

Pakistani's are playing the race card riding the crest of the white man's burden and enjoying a moment of validation
