Cricketer Shahid Afridi on Sunday expressed his solidarity and support for the region of Kashmir and the people residing in the violence affected areas. The two neighbours India and Pakistan have been at loggerheads since partition over the region which has seen wars in 1947, 1965, 1971 and 1999 and numerous incidents of infiltration, cross-border terrorism that has taken lives of soldiers and civilians in both countries.
“I have played all the cricket I wanted to and now I just want to focus and enjoy playing in the leagues,” Afridi had said in Karachi.
Speaking on Twitter, Afridi wrote: “Kashmir has been suffering from brutality since past many decades.its high timethis [time this] issue shd [should] be resolved which has taken infinite lives. Kashmir is heaven on earth & we can’t be oblivious to the pleas of the innocent. #iStandWithKashmir #KasmirSolidarityDay”
