    "editor1": "<p><strong>Karachi, Dec 27:<\/strong> In a startling revelation, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar has said Danish Kaneria was treated differently in the team because he was a Hindu during their playing days.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;In my career, the number of times I have had to argue with people regarding the issues of Karachi, Punjab, Peshawar is outrageous. People used to ask questions like, &#39;Why are you eating (with us) here?&#39; to Hindu players like Danish Kaneria,&quot; Akhtar said at a show titled &quot;Game on Hai&quot;.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I used to reply to those players, &#39;How would you feel if I took your food from your house and forced to make you eat outside?&#39;&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Akhtar added that he used to be enraged by his teammates&#39; behaviour when they refused to break bread with Kaneria because of his religion and did not give him due credit for his performances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I used to get very angry when anyone was discriminated on the basis of region or religion. A Hindu born in Pakistan is entitled to represent his country. When that Hindu (Kaneria) won us the Test series against England (in 2005), I was upset with my teammates for mistreating him,&quot; said the celebrated former pacer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kaneria is fourth in the list of bowlers who have taken most Test wickets for Pakistan, behind only fast bowlers Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and Imran Khan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>He was handed a lifetime ban by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after allegations of him being involved in match fixing surfaced.<\/p>\r\n",
