New Delhi: At a time when the whole world is putting up a united fight against Coronavirus, Pakistan continues to remain obsessed with India. At a time, when Imran govt’s focus should be on saving its population from the Covid-19 pandemic, it continues to indulge in fake propaganda campaign against India.
In latest incident, former Pak cricketer Shahid Afridi has indulged in hatemongering from across the border. He traveled to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and made outrageous remarks against Indian Army and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Afridi apparently went to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) for supplying relief material in times of Covid-19 but ended up as a puppet of the Pakistani Army.

Addressing a local crowd, Afridi said, “Modi deployed 7 lakh soldiers in Kashmir, same as the total strength of Pakistani forces.”
Spreading the fake narrative further, Afridi said Kashmiris are being oppressed by Indian Army.
Gautam Gambhir blasts Afridi for fake narrative
Indian cricketer turned politician Gautam Gambhir hit back at the Pakistani cricketer for his fake propaganda and termed him a joker.
Reacting to Afridi’s hat-filled comments against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Gambhir took to Twitter and wrote: “Pak has 7 lakh force backed by 20 Cr ppl says 16 yr old man @SAfridiOfficial. Yet begging for Kashmir for 70 yrs. Jokers like Afridi, Imran & Bajwa can spew venom against India & PM @narendramodi ji to fool Pak ppl but won’t get Kashmir till judgment day! Remember Bangladesh?”
Yuvraj Singh berates Afridi for anti-India rant
Yuvraj Singh, who earlier made an appeal for contribution to Afridi’s NGO for helping Covid-19 affected people, slammed the Pakistani cricketer for derogatory remarks against the Prime Minister.
Really disappointed by @SAfridiOfficial‘s comments on our Hon’b PM @narendramodi ji. As a responsible Indian who has played for the country, I will never accept such words. I made an appeal on your behest for the sake of humanity. But never again.
Jai Hind ??

Afridi’s many attempts at peddling fake propaganda
In fact, this is not the first time that Afridi has indulged in spreading hate and peddling fake propaganda against India.
He has been involved in a number of Twitter wars over the Kashmir issue with former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir.
Last year, he had visited the Line of Control (LoC) to “express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren” following the Indian government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 of the Indian constitution.
