Pakistani forces are fuming after Indian troops destroyed nine terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. In a retaliatory move, Pakistan launched a drone attack on India, but Indian forces successfully countered it.
This isn’t the first time Pakistan has reacted aggressively. Back in 2012, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi got into a scuffle with fans at Karachi airport. The incident was sparked when Afridi slapped a fan who allegedly pushed his daughter, Ajwa. The situation escalated, and Afridi was beaten up by the crowd.
Afridi’s History of Provocation
Afridi has a history of making inflammatory statements, especially against India. After a recent attack in Pahalgam, he made some outrageous comments about Indian soldiers. This wasn’t the first time Afridi has courted controversy. The 2012 airport incident left him battered and bruised.
Afridi’s personal life has also been in the spotlight. He married his cousin, Nadiya, and they have five daughters together. In 2021, he arranged the engagement of his daughter Ansha to cricketer Shaheen Afridi, and they got married in 2023.
Backlash Against Pakistan
The Indian government has taken steps to curb Pakistani propaganda in India. Several Pakistani media channels and cricketers’ social media accounts, including YouTube channels, have been banned for spreading misinformation.
Afridi isn’t the only one who’s faced backlash. Many Pakistani cricketers have been criticized for their anti-India rhetoric. The Indian government’s move is seen as a step to prevent the spread of propaganda.
As tensions between the two countries continue, it’s clear that the situation remains volatile. The incident has sparked a heated debate, with many calling for calm and restraint. Others have expressed concern over the potential consequences of such actions.
