Talking to the Indian media, Butt said that Shoaib Akhtar’s claims in his autobiography “Controversially Yours” could prove a potential threat to the renewal of cricketing ties with India. He condemned Akhtar’s plans to launch his book in India and seek “cheap publicity” by taking jibe at Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid.“We are trying so hard to bridge the gap with India. In these times such bullshit is totally uncalled for,” Butt added.“Shoaib Akhtar is talking nonsense and should be rebuffed by the people of India. We will give an official statement, on Saturday, saying everything that he has said in his book is bullshit. There is not an iota of truth in it. He has caused us enough trouble as a player and the misery continues even now,” Butt said.
