“You must be from India, your people must be very happy” – Ramiz Raza to that journalist
Speaking of that incident, after the match, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board was coming out of the Dubai International stadium. Then, many reporters and journalists went to him for asking some questions. Rohit Juglan was also present there. He asked Ramiz Raza about some messages for the people of Pakistan after this loss.
He asked: “Awam badi nakhush hai. Unke lie koi sandesh? (The people must be unhappy. Any message for them?). Ramiz replied: “Dekhie aap India se honge, aapke (awam) toh bohut khush honge.” (You must be from India, your people must be very happy). However, Rohit denied that they are not happy at all. He said: “Hum khush nahi hai. (No, we are not happy).” In reply to that, Ramiz Raza asked: “Kaunsi awam? (Which people?)”.
Then, Rohit said: “Maine dekha hai Pakistan k logo ko rote hue jate. Kya main ghalat bol raha hu Ramiz bhai? (I’ve seen Pakistani fans go back crying after the loss. Am I saying something wrong?”). Then, Ramiz concluded: “Aap awam ko generalize kar rahe hai. (You are generalizing ‘the people’). After this, he was seen trying to snatch Rohit’s phone also. Ramiz also warned a fan as he was too close to him. “Please ye hath hataiye. Aur aap camera se thoda side ho jaye (Please keep your hands off me and stay away from the camera),” Ramiz Raza said.
