Internet Desk: Legendary Indian batsman Virender Sehwag and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir have shown their support for the CRPF jawans who were attacked by the stone pelters in Srinagar during the general elections in the Kashmir Valley.
Images of a stone pelter hitting a CRPF jawan have emerged soon after the elections, leaving the nation enraged.
Both the cricketers had expressed their anger on twitter on Thursday.
“For every slap on my army’s Jawan lay down at least a 100 jihadi lives. Whoever wants Azadi LEAVE NOW! Kashmir is ours. #kashmirbelongs2us,” an angry Gambhir wrote on his twitter handle.
