'PAKISTAN DOESN'T NEED KASHMIR': SHAHID AFRIDI MAKES A STUNNING STATEMENT

Former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has made a controversial statement by asking the country's government to give up its demand for Kashmir. Instead, the legendary spinner wants them to take care of the area that is already under their control.

In a statement that it bound to invite controversy, Afridi said that Pakistan was demanding that India cede Kashmir when it was not even able to handle even the four provinces it has.

“Pakistan doesn't need Kashmir; it is not able to even handle the four provinces it has,” Afridi told students during an interaction at the British Parliament. But it didn't just end there. Afridi went on to say that Pakistan had failed in its efforts to keep the country united and safe from extremists.

However, he made it clear that Kashmir should also not go to India and that he was pained to see that people were dying in the Valley.

“Say Pakistan doesn't need Kashmir, don't give it to India as well. Let Kashmir become a country. The people dying there should not die, humanity should stay alive. It pains to see people die there,” he said.

It will be interesting to see how the governments of both countries react to the strong admonishment.
