"Women are not 'consumer products'. This stream of thinking is the worst that has risen in this recent Indo Pak 'war'. Why have we become so sick!" this is how one of the furious cricket fans reacted after seeing a misogynistic Twitter post amidst the escalating tension between the two nuclear-armed countries.
Continuing his tirade against India, Australian cricket journalist Dennis Freedman on Wednesday took to the popular social media platform and wrote, "Pakistan has banned the use of all Indian made products. Shoaib Malik has requested an exception".
And by "exception," he was referring to Sania Mirza, the wife of Pakistan cricketer Malik.
Many Pakistani fans took exception to the tweet, and slammed the journalist for objectifying women.
In cricketing circles, Freedman is known for his pro-Pakistan tweets.
Meanwhile, in view of the escalating tension between India and Pakistan, security has been increased in major Indian cities.
