Celebrities Express Concern Over Zainab Abbas Leaving India Amid Hosting Issues

Amid mounting safety concerns, sports presenter Zainab Abbas has departed India. This decision came in the wake of a legal complaint filed against her by an Indian lawyer known for his anti-minority stance pertaining to alleged ‘anti-Hindu’ tweets. The move stirred significant backlash within the Pakistani entertainment industry, with prominent celebrities expressing their dismay over the absence of their country’s representatives at the World Cup and harshly criticizing her exit.
Prominent Figures Show Solidarity with Zainab Abbas
Director Nabeel Qureshi strongly criticized Zainab’s departure, deeming it as “utterly absurd.” He pointed out the existing challenge where numerous fans and journalists from Pakistan have been facing difficulties in obtaining visas to India, asserting that the situation had reached an unprecedented level of frustration.
Furthermore, actor and singer Ahmed Ali Butt voiced his strong disapproval of the development, characterizing it as a lamentable and regrettable act that specifically targets professional women. He expressed his profound disappointment with the ongoing events within the World Cup, suggesting a measure of banning participation in host countries exhibiting such derogatory behaviour toward women professionals such as Zainab Abbas.
It’s important to note that the tweets causing difficulties for Zainab date back nine years.
