Afridi empathises with terrorists killed in Kashmir, Gambhir laughs him off

Afridi said he was appalled and worried about the situation in the 'Indian Occupied Kashmir'

Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has stoked yet another controversy by siding with the 13 Pakistan terroists killed in south Kashmir. In a tweet he refered to the terrorists as innocent people and that the 'oppressive regime'of the Indian government was trying to clamp down the voices of the innocent. 

He said he was appalled and worried about the situation in the "Indian Occupied Kashmir". 

Reacting to the swashbuckiling cricketer's outburst, Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir asked Indian media to relax and that he is "celebrating dismissal off a no-ball".

Earlier legendary former cricketer and politicain Imran Khan had tweeted on the same lines as Shahid Afridi and condemn the brutality of Indian forces against 'innocent Kashmiris'. He said that the people of Pakistan were in solidarity with the Kashmiris.

United Nations Chief Antonio Guterres was "very concerned" over the situation in Jammu and Kashmir and wanted all member states to protect their civilians, his spokesperson has said.

It may be recalled that during the Ice Cricket tournament in Switzerland, the same cricketer asked an Indian woman to hold the tricolour straight, as it was folded.
