Cricket icon Wasim Akram has sharply criticized Indian media outlets for mistakenly using his photo in reports about an alleged spy sharing his name. The former Pakistani fast bowler expressed his frustration in a humorous yet pointed video posted on social media, where he directly addressed the mix-up.
In the clip, Akram exclaimed, “Who are you people? There’s no checking, no balance!” — highlighting the lack of professionalism and fact-checking in certain media circles.
He made it clear that the individual accused of espionage had no connection whatsoever to him and urged news organizations to verify facts before publishing misleading content.
To avoid future confusion, Akram also shared his official social media accounts, and his witty response quickly went viral. Fans from both Pakistan and India praised his composed attitude and sharp sense of humor.
The controversy has once again sparked conversations about journalistic ethics, accountability, and the spread of misinformation in today’s fast-paced media landscape.
Akram’s graceful and confident response not only clarified the situation but also served as a powerful reminder of the media’s responsibility in maintaining credibility and truth.
