Player Mahoor Shahzad claims bronze medal in BIC 2019

Pakistani badminton player Mahoor Shahzad landed herself in hot waters after she unintentionally made racist comments.

Mahoor Shahzad, who is currently competing in the Olympics, recently made comments during a video: “There are some badminton players who are totally Pathans. I am number one in Pakistan, but our remaining Pakistani badminton players are very much jealous of my progress.” The short clip went viral and social media called out the athlete for her racist comment.

چونکہ میں #1 ہوں اس لیے میرے پاس دوسروں کی تضحیک کرنے کا لائسنس ہے!
آپ درخواستیں کرنے کے بعدکوٹہ پر #Olympics میں گئی ہیں اور پرچم تھامنے کا “اعزاز” پاتے ہوئے کووڈ SOPsکی دھجیاں اُڑا کر وطن کی شان میں اضافہ کیا اور اب ایک قومیت کیخلاف زہر اگل کر آپ نے اپنا قد مزید چھوٹا کرلیا ہے! pic.twitter.com/DTGP47sny2

However, Mahoor Shahzad decided to apologise for her remarks and shared another message on social media and issued an apology for her statement made earlier.

Yesterday I apologised on my social media platforms formally as it was not possible to record a message.

Therefore, I recorded a video message as an apology to those who got hurt from my words.

Kindly watch the video and I hope the video will clear the misunderstandings! pic.twitter.com/iCZE5xUrzx

“Yesterday I apologized on my social media platforms formally as it was not possible to record a message. Therefore, I recorded a video message as an apology to those who got hurt by my words. Kindly watch the video and I hope the video will clear the misunderstandings!” said the caption.
