Shahid Afridi, the former Pakistan all-rounder, has once again spoken out against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of consistently using anti-Muslim rhetoric to fuel division. Afridi expressed that tensions between the two countries have heightened since Modi took office, and he called for India to provide evidence of any claims it has against Pakistan.
In his statement, Afridi also took a dig at the Indian media, which he believes has shifted from news reporting to sensationalism. He emphasized that politics should not interfere with sports, citing how Modi’s policies have prevented the Indian cricket team from playing in Pakistan, particularly during the Champions Trophy.

Afridi reiterated his wish for both India and Pakistan to engage in cricket once again, highlighting the role of sports in uniting nations rather than creating hatred. The former cricketer’s comments come amid ongoing political tensions and the absence of bilateral cricket series between the two countries.
The issue remains a sensitive one for both nations, with cricket fans eagerly awaiting the return of normal sporting ties between India and Pakistan.
