Ramiz Raja roasts PTI supporter over Mufti Qawi 'non-issue'

Cricketer convert commentator tweeted about PTI's suspension of Mufti Qawi's membership

Pakistani cricketer turned commentator Ramiz Raja found himself in a tiff with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters after the 53-year-old commented on one of the party’s recent moves.

Ramiz on Wednesday tweeted: “The response of PTI on Mufti Qawi is clearly on a non-issue. [I] Am getting increasingly disillusioned by PTI for its defensive right wing tilt.”

Ramiz was referring to the incident where Imran Khan-led PTI suspended Mufti Abdul Qawi’s party membership after his controversial selfies and videos with model Qandeel Baloch emerged on social media.

“PTI has suspended basic membership of Mufti Abdul Qawi,” a statement issued by the party’s media cell had said on Wednesday.

While some of Ramiz’s followers started criticising the cleric for his act, one of the followers disapproved of Ramiz posting such a statement by labelling his tweet ‘callous and ill-timed comment’.

is your account hacked or did u just make a callous ill-timed comment reacting to #PMLN disinformation cell?

And Ramiz, with all his ferocious verbosity, was ready with an answer.

U & many like you need to smell the coffee. World has moved on whilst most Pak is caught up in an archaic mind set. https://t.co/PB4AkEtCmx

Still recovering from Ramiz's reply, the PTI supporter tried to make a comeback and suggested the commentator stick to his job. You guessed it, it didn't go down too well either.

"many like u" - did u just pass a judgment after 5 seconds?! Stick to cricket commentary may be?

I clearly now count you in the category of "many like u -one of them' .. https://t.co/9DpQE9L6LG

Another PTI supporter then tried to label Ramiz as 'too westernised' but the commentator held his own.
