Hostilities Escalate After Pahalgam Attack
India-Pakistan hostilities have heightened after a terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. Against this backdrop, former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi made offensive comments against the Indian Army.
Shikhar Dhawan's Retort
Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan reacted forcefully to Afridi's comments. Referring to the 'X' platform, Dhawan challenged Afridi's words:
"We have beaten your nation in the Kargil war. Did you forget this? You have already dropped so low. How low will you drop? Quit making such worst comments. Try to enhance the position of your nation. We all feel proud of the Indian Army."
Dhawan's response has collected a lot of support on social media.
Afridi's Provocative Comments Ignite Outrage
In recent times, Afridi bashed India's security response to the Pahalgam Terror Attack, asking:
"Why couldn’t their army stop this attack?"
His statement, viewed as highly inappropriate, has angered many netizens, who condemned Afridi’s comments as insensitive and provocative.
Diplomatic Strain Between India and Pakistan
In response to the Pahalgam incident, India has taken key diplomatic measures. Accusing cross-border terrorism from Pakistan, India has moved to strengthen security and reassess diplomatic relations.
Simultaneously, Pakistani leaders, ministers, and media have escalated their criticism of India, starting a campaign against the Indian Army. In response, the Indian government has blocked various Pakistani YouTube channels spreading anti-India content.
