Afridi Slammed For Targeting Indian Army, Naqvi Trolled | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G
In the wake of a terror attack in Kashmir’s Pahalgam, tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated, with controversial statements from Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi sparking outrage. Instead of condemning the attack, Afridi has shifted the blame onto India, accusing the Indian army of failing to protect its citizens. This is despite India banning Shoaib Akhtar's YouTube channel. Afridi's comments have drawn heavy backlash from Indian and Pakistani social media users. Meanwhile, Naqvi’s bizarre claim that India is jealous of Pakistan's economic growth has led to widespread trolling. Rupha Ramani delves into the ongoing controversy, exploring the impact of these statements on the cricketing world and the broader geopolitical landscape.
