In the video Ramiz Raja recounted an incident from the time when Former President of Pakistan and Millitary ruler Zia ul Haq’s martial law was imposed in Pakistan. He was playing a four-day first-class cricket match in Gujranwala. Initially, the stadium was empty, but suddenly, 10,000 people entered. To his shock, some policemen also arrived, and he was summoned by an officer to remove the wickets from the pitch. When Raja asked why this was happening, he was told that someone was going to be flogged as a form of punishment.
“After that, a prisoner was brought in, and a man took a run-up like Haris Rauf and lashed at the prisoner. The prisoner then waved to the crowd as if he were a hero,” Ramiz said.
Immediately after that, everyone left the stadium, and the game resumed. Ramiz described this incident as a “historical” moment in his life.
