Shahid Afridi slams Indian media, says Kashmir belongs to Pakistan


Karachi, Nov 15 (DC): After suggesting Kashmir to be independent, former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi clarified on his statement saying that his comments were being ‘misconstrued’ by the Indian media.

Recently, Afridi had stressed on the importance on humanity and that humans were being killed.

“Don’t give Kashmir to Pakistan or India either. Let them be independent. Humanity is big thing. Human are being killed there (Kashmir). It hurts to see humans are being killed whatever religion they may belong,” Afridi said to ARY News.

However, now Afridi has gone onto say that his comments have been 'misconstrued' by the Indian media.

“My comments are being misconstrued by Indian media! I'm passionate about my country and greatly value the struggles of Kashmiris. Humanity must prevail and they should get their rights,” the 38-year-old tweeted.

“My clip is incomplete & out of context as what I said before that is missing.Kashmir is unresolved dispute & under brutal Indian occupation. It must be resolved as per UN resolution. Myself along with every Pakistani support Kashmiri freedom struggle. Kashmir belongs to Pakistan,” he wrote in a separate tweet.

    Why are some of you upset with his remarks, this is how they are. Appreciate the guy instead because he is speaking the truth and what is in his mind. But here we have some people who speak one thing in front of us and once our backs are turned they say another thing , you'll should have known better.

    Well,let him keep dreaming since his cricket days are over like those of Imran Khan he may be hoping for a career in politics. "Kashmir" is the only mantra that gets you politicam mileage with the military. In fact all of Kahmir and its surrounding areas should be part of India as per original plan of partition.
    More than 40 years ago Bhutto and Indira Gandhi had signed the pact of recogizing the status-quo and agreed on the LoC as the border (Shimla agreement). This agreement was then lateron reconfirmed by their respective daughter and son who were the PM's of their country. Of course, the military never accepted the agreement and all these 4 PM's were murdered for a variety of reasons.

    This guy lives in some fool's paradise and definitely needs some tough lessons to be taught on Indian geography and history. They have nothing else to talk about themselves on international forums other than "K".

    Read the History books well. Before Independence even though British ruled our Continent, It was in their letters that "Govt of India". There is no "Govt. of Pakistan"

    It is the time now to make "Govt. of Bharath" including Pakistan.

    It is funny that they celebrate Aug 14 as Independence Day. There is NO Pakistan before, occupied by British. It is all struggle about Independent India not about Pakistan.

    Actually they should celebrate as Formation day but not Independence day.

    We need some people like Manek Shaw, Kariappa, to achieve the goal. We must remove this thorn pricked to brain for ever.

    How long to allow these dogs to bite and bark ?
