Ex-Pak envoy Abdul Basit mistakes porn star for J&K pellet-gun victim

New Delhi: In an embarrassing gaffe, former Pakistani High Commissioner to India, Abdul Basit, retweeted the picture of an adult movie star, mistaking him to be a Kashmiri protester who lost his vision due to pellet injury. The ex-envoy’s tweet became the center of jokes after being highlighted by Pakistan-based journalist Naila Inayat who posted screenshots of Basit retweeting the post on Twitter. Basit had retweeted a waggish post from the handle @blundertarar with a still from an adult film starring porn actor Johnny Sins. Inayat tweeted: “Former Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit, mistakes Johnny Sins for a Kashmiri man who lost vision from pellet. Unreal times these, really.”

The Twitter screenshots that Inayat had shared showed Basit retweeting a tweet with a picture and a message: “Yousuf from Ananthnag...lost vision due from pellet...pls raise your voice.” The former envoy later deleted his tweet. (IANS)
