Pulwama Attack: Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi was asked about Gautam Gambhir's tweet after the terrorist attack in Kashmir. Here's how he reacted.
The Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir, where 40 Indian CRPF Jawans lost their lives, has brought the entire the country to a standstill. People are mourning the death of the brave soldiers and are coming forward to help their families. In this moment of tension around the border, the people and the government of the country is standing unitedly and protesting against the terrorist attacks. While former Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir suggested that India should reply to Pakistan after the attack directly in the battleground, here's how Shahid Afridi reacted on being asked about the same.
"Yes, let’s talk with the separatists. Yes, let’s talk with Pakistan. But this time conversation can’t be on the table, it has to be in a battleground. Enough is enough. 18 CRPF personnel killed in IED blast on Srinagar-Jammu highway" Gambhir had tweeted after the attack on February 14. His tweet is a clear indication that he was very angry with all that has happened.
A video has surfaced online where Afridi was asked about Gambhir's 'battlefield' take on the subject. In the video, Afridi seems to be heading back after a match in the PSL for Multan Sultans. As the reporter asks Afridi about his take on Gambhir's tweet, the veteran all-rounder reacted saying, “Kya ho gaya usko?” Here's the video of the same:
Afridi did not delve much into the matter as he refrained from giving a proper reply on the matter. Both Gambhir and Afridi have had numerous on and off-field tussles, including certain political matters.
Gambhir, meanwhile, has continued to voice his opinions on the matter on social media, suggesting further course of action that can be taken. He has even pledged to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the army in this fight.
The Cricket Club of India secretary Suresh Bafna, on Sunday, requested the BCCI that India should not play against Pakistan in the upcoming ICC 2019 World Cup in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack.
