Inzamam-ul-Haq has come under fire from Harbhajan Singh over claims that the former was eager to convert to Islam.

Inzamam-ul-Haq, the former captain of Pakistan, has come under fire from former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh for remarks he made in the media.

Harbhajan Singh, a former cricket player from India, vented on social media about a story that went viral that former Pakistan captain Inzamam Ul Haq shared during an interview.

“I just want to say that someone should take Inzamam ul Haq to the doctor. He is not in the right mental state, please take him to the doctor. He is given odd statements. I am a Sikh and I am very happy to be born in a Sikh family,” Harbhajan told exclusively to India today.

According to Inzamam, the incident occurred during a period when the cricketers, including Harbhajan, attended prayer sessions led by Maulana Tariq Jameel. Inzamam narrated that after observing the sessions, Harbhajan expressed admiration for Maulana Tariq Jameel, expressing a desire to follow his teachings.

“We had a room where prayers were conducted. Maulana Tariq Jameel used to visit us in the evening and lead us into a namaz. After a few days, Irfan Pathan, Mohammad Kaif and Zaheer Khan also started coming. Four other Indian cricketers sat and watched us,” Inzamam said.

“Harbhajan, who was unaware that Tariq Jameel was a maulana, said that ‘I am impressed with this man and want to follow his words’,” he added.

Harbhajan, however, refuted the entire narrative in his social media post, firmly stating that the story was untrue.

He emphasized his identity as a ‘proud Sikh’ and contradicted the claim of considering a conversion to Islam.
