Internet Desk :  After having appealed for peace, Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has now warned India of “ Pathans standing at the border forefront.”

Speaking at a cricket show, the all-rounder was asked to react on an article by an Indian news portal that allegedly ridiculed his tweet and stated that “Afridi was scared of Indian Army.”

The 36-year-old responded: “Indians aren’t aware that ahead of the Pakistani army, it is the Pathans who are standing. The borders are all protected by the Pathans,”

Afridi, who himself is a Pathan and is on the verge of retiring, had earlier urged in his tweet that two Asian neighbours should maintain peace and say no to war.

“Pakistan is a peace loving nation, why talk about extreme measures when things can be resolved through dialogues?” the former T20 skipper said.

“Pakistan wants cordial relationship with all. When two neighbours fight both homes are effected. Say No to war.” #Pakistan #India #Peace #neighbours,” he tweeted in a series of tweets.

The Indian Army carried surgical strikes across the LoC last week and neutralised terrorists from crossing over into India. Seven terror launch pads were destroyed.
