#OmPrakshMishra threat to Kiwis, lead tour cancel?
New Zealand cricket (NZC) cancelled a visit to pakistan earlier this week, citing a serious security concern. Naturally, there was a lot of conjecture about what prompted the tour's abrupt cancellation. In a press conference on Wednesday, Pakistan's minister of Information and Broadcast Fawad Chaudhry said that a bogus account of a terrorist outfit named "Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan" posed a threat, despite the lack of a specific statement from the authorities on behalf of New Zealand.
Chaudhry went on to say that the threat was made by a man called Om Prakash Mishra and that it was carried out solely from India. Did the name ring a bell with you? You're absolutely correct! Om Prakash Mishra's humorous video "Bol Na Aunty Au Kya" went popular on social media, making him a social media star. Later on, you may read more about this.
