New Delhi: During the usual routine performed by India and Pakistan at the Wagah-Attari border, Pakistani cricketer Hasan Ali entertained the crowd present there at the time of the flag-lowering ceremony with his on-field signature celebration of 'bomb explosion imitation'. The video had gone viral on the internet and drew flak from all corners. And later on the Border Security Force (BSF) expressed their intention at lodging a protest over the gesture affecting the 'sanctity of the parade'.

Officially, the ceremony is only allowed to be performed by BSF on the Indian side and by the Rangers of the Pakistani side and that no public is allowed to intervene it. On Saturday evening, BSF found a civilian on the Pakistani side 'interfering' the ceremony. “The act has hit the sanctity of the parade. We will lodge a protest with Pakistan Rangers,” BSF Inspector General (Punjab Frontier) Mukul Goel was quoted by the Indian Express in a telephonic conversation. “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,” Goel added.

Hasan was part of the entire Pakistan cricket squad along with skipper Sarfraz Ahmed. The idea to visit the Wagah border was of the skipper's. He said the sole purpose to visit the Pakistan-India border was to get some energy and boost before the England-Ireland tour. “Boys will raise slogans and enjoy some time there; I am sure this exercise would help them to increase the morale level for upcoming crucial Test series against England,” the wicketkeeper-batsman was as quoted as saying by Pakistantoday.com. So far, the Rangers haven't put forth any objection against Hasan's gesture.

BSF spokesperson and DIG R S Kataria said, “I am on leave. I have inquired into it. A BSF officer at Attari has told me that the national cricket team of Pakistan had come to witness the ceremony at Wagah. One of the cricketers from their team started making provocative gestures during the drill. It happened on Pakistani side. Pakistani officers later made that player sit. Since it is a drill of forces of two countries, BSF is lodging protest with Pakistan Rangers.”

Rules need to be followed. Raju Srivastava didnot do his stuff in the midst of the parade.

Read the OP.

That Pak Army guy or rather Pak Rangers guy is not at fault. Such gestures are made by personnels of both sides its part of the parade and everything.

Watch the parade here.

After the parade is over visitors are allowed to go down on that road upto the gate.

Problem is Hassan Ali did it right in the middle of the ceremony.

Watch the video i have posted in the other post.

You can hear shouting and sloganeering in from the visitors gallery on both sides. Hassan Ali went down to the parade area right in the middle of the ceremony. This is not a cricket ground.

Hassan Ali did his antics in the middle of the parade. Raju didnot.

If we see it in terms of semantics then yes however what Raju did was way worst than what Hassan did.

Read the OP. BSF has filed a complaint as Hassan Ali disrupted the ceremony.

If he had done this from the visitors gallery or after the ceremony was over no one would be complaining. There is lots of singing and slogan shouting throughout the ceremony but no non participant is alliwed in the parade area during the parade.

I guess Hassan Ali did this right in the middle of the ceremony because at that time gates are open and you get a clear view of the other side. So he wanted his antics to be seen by the soldiers and civilians on the other side. He wanted his 2 mins of attention.
 
Nicely done by Hassan Ali. Enjoyed it thouroughly. Lol @ "Sanctity" of parade. It is showbazi anyway, not some religious ritual. The crowd was entertained, thats all what matters.
 
Slim said:
Yeah, former ICC Number 1 ODI bowler, a champion, an emerging player award winner needs 2 minutes attention of indian public. Are you taking the **** mate? :)))

People came there to watch the ceremony and not Hassan Ali. His being a cricketer was of no significance hence the attention grabbing act.
 
People still attend to watch this circus? Then the act was not out of place. BSF needlessly whining.
 
To me the broader question is: what hasn't the stupid "ceremony" been discontinued? It's embarrassing what the jawans on both sides do.
 
I doubt any current Pakistani player really deserve IPL contract unlike few years ago.But for marketing reasons few may get in If in future we allow these guys to enter auctions.

Quite a few Pakistani players would do well in the IPL in my opinion, and as I said previously, if they were invested in the IPL you would probably see them being a lot more careful about offending India. This sort of thing getting blown up is exactly what happens when you take a petty stance in the first place.

So being a clown a few yards from where Hasan Ali did what he did, means that it's ok does it?
 
LOL Hassan Ali should do this every time he's in Lahore. Triggered indians are the funniest things ever.

I am not talking about doing well,many Indian/Australian second/third string players do well from time to time.I was just talking about whether any one really deserve a contract as there are no real super stars or even very exiting talents in Pakistan team.If we look back 2009 when Pakistan was too T20 team is we can obviously tell they are missed but now it’s really doesn’t matter add to this England improved tremendously in T20 over this time to produce many more exciting players.I forgot Afganis too...

But there is scope for getting any Pakistani player on marketing point of view though.

I don’t think Hassan Ali would get any mileage doing this in Lahore.Hope you understand why this became an issue eventhough it’s not big deal.

Its one thing to be in the galleries and raise slogans in support of your country. Its another to break rules and go down to a military parade area and make gestures.

If he had done this after the parade or in the galleries no one would be complaining.

But guess what, after the parade the gates close so he wouldnot get the attention of the Indian side. He went down during the parade as the gates were wide open and he could get the entire Indian side to see his antics.

I would say the same if a Indian had done this. Give the military ceremonies their respect and follow the rules.

Brilliant from our DGP,he doesn’t care about random acts from random Pakistani but he should do it in public gallery not in parade.

Provocation is provocation, irrespective of whether gates are open, or whether it's a few yards here or there at Wagah.

So you are saying Srivastav was supporting his country, by making those comments about Sarfraz Ahmed etc?

With Indians, it is always about money, quantity over quality - or better known as insecurity.

So called richest super-SHTAAR team got battered in CT17 by a poor team - and they cannot accept it!

Read the OP,Indian DSP saying he doesn’t care random act by random people in public enclosure and it’s ok ok even if it’s aggressive.All he was saying don’t bring random people into parade I guess it’s a reasonable complaint otherwise why should there be any rules?instead of Army people India can simply send some random jokers to perform this circus.

If you read the OP it will be pretty clear what is the complaint.Indian DSP is least bothered with provocation (I guess he doesn’t even know who Hasan is or what is his gimmick) all he is saying keep it in public enclosure.

The player involved in this controversy would himself take the IPL by storm, pretty sure that a few others would do well too, but I am not going to argue with you about it. The gist of my point was that this is a petty episode blown up by a petty nation. I merely pointed a way forward that would lift all from such a useless atmosphere.

You cannot provoke if no one can see you. If you go to wagah you will see that after the parade lots of people come down and make gestures sloganeer and this happens from both sides.

Here Hassan Ali disrupted a military ceremony for his antics. Thats the issue. Even the bsf is saying the same.

That’s just an assumption some of the biggest names like Steyn failed spectacularly in IPL in their pomp.

I definitely agree with you on this as this is a petty gimmick conducted by petty nation otherwise who will send dumb guys to represent you in circus like Wagah border rituals.

I get to decide what I consider sacrosanct. And i was sharing my opinion.

And Lets see some of the rules you are talking about to understand why Indian BSF is complaining.

Seriously India. Get off of your high horse.
It was done in Pakistan on Pakistani land by a Pakistani player to entertain Pakistani.

Afridi was within his right to tweet.

India is within its right to lodge complaint but the action is limited to that.

Stop making everything about yourself and try to come off as better than anyone else. You aren’t.

Stop being over sensitive, it’s gettimg annoying, and started to look like that annoying kid in a class who would run to teacher to snitch and get his nose brown.

I’ve never seen so many people crying over something that isn’t and turning something into that isn’t anything.

From where you get so many people crying over statistics? But atleast you agreed complaint is valid unlike most other Pakistani posters here thought its wrong to complaint.

You and your other ultra nationalist have a habit of twisting the meaning and adding words that was never spoken/written to fit your narrative.

I never said complaint was “Valid”, said, “India is within their right to lodge complaint”, which I find rather stupid and only done to entertain the ultra-nationalists of India to seen competent. Just like Hassan entertained Pakistan for few minutes, BSF is entertaining ultra-nationalists Indian for a long time. Enjoy while it last.
 
I say now that we know this bothers India we should have a weekly or monthly event where different sportspersons go and "taunt" India.

There are laid down protocols and rules that need to be followed. These are agreed upon by both sides. Its not that India is asking for something unique.

I hope he goes and do it again so you guys can file another "complain". At the end of the day, that's all that can really be done.

Did you really think in grand scheme of things, there was going to be any other sort of action taken from your end? Funny how it got so many posters all worked up on a celebration.
 
Unnecessary stuff by Hassan Ali. Glorifying hate culture further. First Raju and now Hassan. Two nations have same problems and cultures. It's unnecessary to promote such things by non army people and specially sportsmen.

This is a great example of personality. Being an emotionless droid that follows the "book" is having a lack of personality. Let Hasan Ali be, it's not a big deal. Ya desis gotta make an issue over the littlest of things lol.
 
Shameful and disrespectful from hasan. When ties between the countries are as strained as they are then rule breaking and aggravating acts shouldn't be done. No need for it. Especially doing a bomb exploding celebration was very innappropriate. I know that's his signature celebration but there's a time and place for everything.
 
Alhamdulillah for Pakistan. We are not persecuted for being Muslim. India can't stand this was done by champion celebrity, albeit for fun.
