Shahid Afridi makes MASSIVE statement against Indian Army after Pahalgam terrrorist attack, holds them responsible for…
New Delhi: Shahid Afridi, a former Pakistani cricket captain, accused the Indian army of a security failure that he believes led to a deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam, south Kashmir, resulting in the deaths of 26 civilians on Tuesday.
“Patakha phat jaata hai wahaan par, Pakistan ne kiya (Even if a firecracker bursts there, they will blame it on Pakistan),” Afridi said on Samaa TV.
“Tum logon ki 8 lakh hi fauj hai Kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska matlab nalayak ho, nikamme ho na tum log security de nahi sake logon ko (You have an 800,000-strong army in Kashmir and this still happened. It means you are inefficient and useless if you can’t provide security to the people).”
A significant terrorist attack in Pahalgam’s Baisaran meadow on Tuesday resulted in the deaths of at least 26 civilians and numerous injuries. This incident, the deadliest in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama attack, has been claimed by the Resistance Front (TRF), a faction of the Lashkar-e-Taiba. The attack has prompted widespread international condemnation.
Afridi criticized the Indian media’s reporting of the event.
“Hairat hoti hai ki hamle ke ek ghante ke baad hi unka media Bollywood ban gaya. Khuda ke liye har kuch ko Bollywood mat banao (It’s surprising that within an hour of the attack, their media turned into Bollywood. For God’s sake, don’t make everything Bollywood).”
“Main hairaan ho gaya, balki main enjoy kar raha tha jis tarah ki woh baatein kar rahe they (I was astonished, in fact, I was enjoying the way they were talking).”
“Main keh raha tha dekho inki soch, yeh apne aap ko padhe likhe log kehte hain (I was saying, look at their thinking, and they call themselves educated people).”
Afridi criticized the Indian cricket community for attributing a terror attack to Pakistan, though he avoided mentioning specific individuals.
“Do cricketers jo India se itni cricket khele hue hain. Ambassadors reh chuke hain, top cricketers reh chuke hain unki taraf se direct Pakistan (There are two cricketers who have played so much cricket for India. They have been ambassadors and top cricketers, yet they directly blame Pakistan).”
