New Delhi: Former Indian Cricketer and MP Gautam Gambhir has slammed Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi for his inciting comments against India Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the latter’s visit to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir.
During his visit to PoK, Afridi said, “I am in your beautiful village, I am very delighted. I was planning to visit you all for a long time. The world is currently infected by such a big disease. But the bigger disease is in Modi’s mind.”
However, this did not go well with Gautam Gambhir. Calling Afridi a “16-year-old man”, he reminded Afridi of what happened in East Pakistan, present Bangladesh, in 1971, saying that Pakistan would not get Kashmir till judgment day.
Gambhir tweeted, “Pak has 7 lakh force backed by 20 Cr ppl says 16 yr old man @SAfridiOfficial. Yet begging for Kashmir for 70 yrs. Jokers like Afridi, Imran & Bajwa can spew venom against India & PM @narendramodi ji to fool Pak ppl but won’t get Kashmir till judgment day! Remember Bangladesh?”

An equally upset Harbhajan Singh told India Today, “This is very upsetting what Shahid Afridi has come up with, talking ill about our country and our Prime Minister. This is just not acceptable.”
“Today or tomorrow, if my country needs me anywhere, even if at the border, I will be the first one to pick up a gun for the sake of my country,” Singh added.
