Afridi invited Dhawan for tea, saying: “Forget about wins and losses; I will host you for tea, Shikhar.” He put in a few comments, including that the incident looked like a movie in Indian media and that Indian cricketers who alleged Pakistan had erred.
Continuing his tirade with Samaa TV, he said, “You have 800,000 soldiers in Kashmir and this still has happened; that means you are not doing your jobs if you cannot keep people safe.” This attack in Pahalgam has been one of the deadliest attacks in Kashmir ever since the 2019 Pulwama accident, evoking an avalanche of international reactions with India holding Pakistan-backed terror organisations responsible for the violence.
