New Delhi: Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria launched a scary attack on Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, in which he was recently held responsible for the terrorist attack in Pahgam in which 26 people lost their lives. “If Pakistan has no role in the Pahalgam terrorist attack, then why has the Prime Minister @cmshehbaz not condemned it yet?” Kaneria, who represented Pakistan in 61 Test matches, wrote on X.
He said, “Why your forces are suddenly on high alert? Because you know the truth – you are sheltered and nurtured to the terrorists. You are ashamed of you,” he further said.
Following his comments, a social media user questioned Kaneria’s stance and accused him of “more Indian”.
“Danish, you are acting more Indians here than most Indians,” the user wrote.
Kaneria replied, saying: “I am a Hindu – one pride one. As a Hindu, I served and played for the nation where I was born, because no matter the Hindus live in the world, they live in loyal and devoted to their country. People of Pakistan gave me love, but its rulers have not treated my Hindu brothers and sisters with me.”
Pahgam attack – The most deadly condemnation since the 2019 Pulwama tragedy – widely condemned globally. He expressed his condolences to the victims and their families, with major voices from leaders around the world, cricketing fraternity and other industries.
In view of the attack, India has implemented a series of strong measures in response:
The suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, stopping the annual flow of about 39 billion cubic meters of water from the Indus river system in Pakistan.
Closing the Attari-Vagah border, effectively cutting an important trade and transit link. Currently, Pakistani citizens in India have been asked to leave before May 1, 2025.
Realization of visas issued under the SARC Visa Rebate Scheme, currently with a 48 -hour time limit for Pakistani citizens to exit in India.
Lack of diplomatic presence of Pakistan in India, Islamabad along with New Delhi cut its mission employees from 55 to maximum 30.
