Students misled to religious event at airport found it was a cricket team welcome instead.
On December 22, 2025, a group of madrassa students and teachers in Islamabad were misled into attending a reception at Islamabad International Airport, believing they were to honor Imam Abdul Rahman al-Sudais of Masjid al-Haram.
Instead, they found the event was a welcome for the Pakistan U-19 cricket team after their victory in the U-19 Asia Cup.
The students, who had been told they were participating in a religious ceremony, expressed frustration over wasted time and disrupted religious duties.
The incident, unconfirmed by official sources, sparked public skepticism about transparency and fueled criticism of how public events are organized.
