The 44-year-old speaking on the sidelines of a congressional briefing on the plight of minorities in Pakistan in Washington DC opened up about it.“We all gathered here and shared our experiences of how we were treated in Pakistan.

We have faced discrimination, and today, we raised our voices against it,” Kaneria was quoted by ANI. Shahid Afridi was the main person who forced me a lot of times to convert to Islam . Inzamam-ul-Haq never used to talk that way,”


“I faced a lot of discrimination, and my career was destroyed. They did not even sit with me for lunch or dinner together and I did not receive the respect and equal value I deserved in Pakistan. I am in the US today because of this discrimination .

We spoke to raise awareness and let the USA know how much we have suffered so that action can be taken,” Kaneria added.
