Pak Pacer Hassan Ali Takes His Field Antics to Wagah Border, BSF Not Amused

[Zarvan]

New Delhi: Pakistani cricketer Hassan Ali’s bizarre antics at the Attari-Wagah border during the traditional flag-lowering ceremony have not gone down well with India’s Border Security Force (BSF), which has decided to lodge a formal protest with the Pakistani Rangers.

In a video that has now gone viral, Ali, known for his on-field eccentric celebrations, can be seen walking up to the Pakistani soldier in the middle of the ceremony. He then imitates the Ranger, pats his thigh and raises his arm, before replicating his signature celebratory move, all the while gesturing to the Indian soldiers and spectators on the other side. A man, also in civilian clothes, walks up to Ali and takes him back.

The Pakistani Rangers are not seen objecting to the cricketer’s 40-second antics in the middle of the ceremony, which has to be performed only by soldiers.

“The act has hit the sanctity of the parade. We will lodge a protest with Pakistan Rangers. Anyone can make any aggressive gesture in the viewers’ gallery on both sides but no public person can interfere in the parade. Before or after the parade, the people are free to do such things, but not in the middle of the parade,” The Indian Express quoted BSF Inspector General (Punjab Frontier) Mukul Goel as saying.

Ali was part of the Pakistani cricket team which visited the Attari-Wagah border on Saturday to view the flag-lowering ceremony, considered to be the highlight of the day.

Civilians are from both sides throng the spectators’ gallery to view the event, which sees high emotions and loud slogan-chanting.

looks cheap man this drama is getting boring now

 

[gangsta_rap]

Very immature

 

[Ocean]

So he fcuked indians thru gestures?

 

[Jackdaws]

He is just playing to the galleries. Yes, but should not be allowed - I guess celebs are always allowed some leeway

 

[liall]

So Pakistani rangers will let any body disrupt their ceremony?

 

[Manidabest]

well he shudnt b doing that very bad very bad

 

[third eye]

Immaturity shows - both the the performer & those who allowed him to step in into an established military ritual on the border.

 

[Foxbat Alok]

Totally chutiyapa

This was uncalled for because there was absolutely no need for ultra-hyper display of immaturity. He should keep it on the field when he bowls out an H!ndian batman. The ceremony is between the soldiers and it should remain that way, harr aeyray gheyray ko beech mein nahi lana chahiye.

Anyways, now that he has done what he has done, he'll need to perform really well against the H!ndian batmen whenever the opportunity arises, otherwise he'll have to eat his antics.

The way I see it there should be ceremony at all. What are we celebrating?

India is raping and killing Kashmiri children and women. You don't hold ceremonies with killers and rapists.

What Hassan Ali did is a fvcking joke compared to what killers and rapists ate doing for decades.

Seems BSF and other Indians have a memory lapse, have you forgotten how you allowed this Baboon to make a racket at the same venue......also directing his attack on Pakistani Cricketers....it's another thing that he and all others got a bloody nose but the question is, who allowed him to perform there in the first place....so BSF can shove it.

Excellent what Hassan ali did totally cool stuff. And i am happy he riled up bharti baboons enough. As of apologetic pakistanis tau aisa karo wagah cross karo waheen ja kay baith jao aur indians kay charnon may beth ki maafi mango

I think Hassan just shows how senseless these British India era style ceremonies are. Looks pretty hilarious. When will Pakistan armed forces forget its role, and stop celebrating its role as a former British attack dog, used to suppress, oppress and exploit its people? Is this something to be proud of?
