Bharat Mata Ki Jai: Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has given a sharp and patriotic response to former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, who made controversial comments about the Indian Army following the deadly terror attack in south Kashmir's Pahalgam.

After the attack, in which 28 civilians tragically lost their lives, Afridi appeared on Pakistani television and blamed India's security forces, questioning their efficiency. Speaking to Samaa TV, Afridi said, "Tum logon ki 8 lakh hi fauj hai Kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska matlab nalayak ho, nikamme ho na tum log security de nahi sake logon ko (You have an 800,000-strong army in Kashmir and this still happened. It means you are inefficient and useless if you can't provide security to the people)."

Afridi further mocked the Indian media's coverage of the incident, comparing it to a Bollywood production and suggesting that Indian cricketers were wrong to blame Pakistan for the attack.
