Pahalgam incident is a drama of India: Shahid Afridi

LAHORE - For­mer Pakistan cricket team captain Shahid Afridi on Sun­day lashed out at India over Pahalgam incident. Talking to the media during his vis­it to Khawaja Junaid Hockey Academy at National Hock­ey Stadium here, Afridi said, “ Pahalgam incident is a dra­ma of India.” How it is pos­sible that terrorists carried out attack for an hour and 800,000 Indian troops did not take action in this re­gard, he questioned.

Shahid Afridi also criticised Indian Cricket Board’s Vice Presi­dent Rajeev Shukla’s state­ment about not playing a se­ries with Pakistan, saying that India never had the in­tention to play with Pakistan. Pakistan and Islam promote peace and brotherhood, he said and added that no coun­try or religion supports ter­rorism. He further said, “We have always tried to have good ties with India.



” To a question, he said he does not want any position in Paki­stan Cricket Board (PCB) or Pakistan team and he would prefer to work at grassroots level. Regarding PSL, Afridi said that Ali Raza had shown good performance in Paki­stan Super League. He said that when domestic cricket was ongoing in the country then no player should be al­lowed to play league.
