XtraTime Web Desk: Former Pakistan all-rounder Sahid Afridi raked up controversy by voicing his support for the killing of innocents by Indian army in Kashmir. The leg-spinner responded to the clashes that happened in between protesters and the security forces in Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, former Pakistan captain tweeted and said, “appalling and worrisome” situation.
The all-rounder sought UN intervention in the matter and demanded the stopping of bloodshed in the valley of Kashmir.
Reacting to Afridi’s comment on twitter, Delhi Daredevils captain Gautam Gambhir took to Twitter in mocking Afridi, saying the leggie was trying to mean UN as under nineteen kids. This is the tweet from Gambhir:
Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What’s there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!!

This is not the first time that Afridi 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.
Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?
