Afridi’s Controversial Accusations After Pahalgam Attack
On April 22, the Pahalgam terror attack 2025 shocked the nation, killing 26 innocent civilians. Following the incident, India took strict action diplomatically and domestically, cutting off all cricket and cultural ties with Pakistan.
Soon after, former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi sparked controversy with his remarks blaming India for orchestrating the attack and then putting the blame on Pakistan..
The Truth Behind Afridi’s Hatred Toward India
The reason behind Afridi’s hate-laced rhetoric was finally revealed. In 2003, Afridi’s cousin Shakib, a known terrorist affiliated with Harkat-ul-Ansar, was gunned down by India’s Border Security Force (BSF). In 2023, Shakib was again identified and killed during an encounter in Anantnag.
BSF discovered proof of Shakib’s terror links and his familial connection to Shahid Afridi through documents recovered from the site.
Old Grudge Turned Political
Even though Shahid Afridi denied the relationship in the past, his recent remarks and aggression toward India show a deep-seated personal vendetta. His comments blaming India for killing its own people reveal a dangerous narrative being pushed in Pakistan.
Afridi's Defence of Pakistan
Shahid Afridi further defended Pakistan by claiming Islam promotes peace and that the country never supports terrorism. He even added that Pakistan always tries to maintain peace with India—a claim largely contradicted by reality.
