Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi on Tuesday raked up 'Kashmir issue' and pitched for 'self-determination and independence'.
New Delhi: Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi on Tuesday raked up 'Kashmir issue' and pitched for 'self-determination and independence'.
Taking to Twitter he said, "Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self -determination and independence. Wonder where are the UN and other international bodies and why aren't they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?"

Afridi was trolled on the social media for his remarks by Indians, though there were some from Pakistani side who backed him.

This is not the first time that he has raised the issue of Kashmir. During the World Twenty20 match against Australia in Mohali in March 2016, he had thanked fans from Kashmir for supporting Pakistan.
“I want to thank people who came and supported us from Pakistan and Kashmir," he had said in the post-match presentation in Kolkata after 21-run loss to Australia that knocked his team out.
Reacting to Afridi's comment, the then BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur had said that the remark was “not politically correct”.
