A day after the former Pakistani captain Shahid Afridi made unsavory remarks about the Indian army, Shikhar Dhawan gave a strong response. The comment and the reaction come days after the terrorist attack of Pahalgam on April 22, who claimed 26 lives. The incident has resulted in one of India's worst face-offs with Pakistan. Days after the attack, Afridi, a veteran of 27 tests, 398 ODIs and 99 T20Is, the Indian army and the media for their view of Pahalgam's terrorist attack.
Dhawan gave him a strong answer. “Kargil Mein Bhi Haraya Tha, Al Itna Gire Hue Ho Aur Kitna Giroge, Bewajah Reactions Pass Karne Se Acha Hai Apne Desh Ki Taraqqi Mai Dimag Lagao @Safridiofficial. Humein Hamari Indian Army Par Bohot Garv Hai. Bharat Mata Ki Jai! Jai Hind! (We are beating you in Kargil. You are already so low bent, the further you can go? Instead of giving comments, focus on improving the condition of your own country. We are proud of the Indian army), “Dhawan said in an X -post.

Afridi had previously questioned the role of the Indian army and called it 'Nalayak, Nikamma (good for nothing, worthless) for not stopping the terrorist attack of Pahalgam.
“Tum logon ki 8 lakh ki fauj hai kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska Matlab Nalayak Ho, Nikamme Ho Na Tum Log Ki Security The Nahi Sake Logon Ko (You have an 8.00,000-member army in Kashmir and this has still happened. It means that you are inefficient and useless if you cannot offer people safety), “Afidi said in a TV program.
“Hairat Hoti hai ki Hamle Ke Ek Ghante Ke Baad Hi Unka Media Bollywood Ban Gaya. Khuda Ke Liye Har Kuch Ko Bollywood Mat Banao (It is surprising that their media became Bollywood within an hour after the attack. For God's sake, don't make everything Bollywood). “
“Main Hairaan Ho Gaya, Balki Main enjoys Kar Raha Tha Jis Tarah Ki Woh Batein Kar Rahhe de (I was surprised, I even enjoyed the way they were talking). Main Keh Raha Tha Dekho Inki Soch, Yeh Apne Aap Ko Padhe Likhe Log Kehte Hain (I said, look at their thinking and they call themselves trained people). “
The Indian government has taken a series of non-military measures in the aftermath of the attack, with solid support from the opposition. The Indus water treaty has been put on hold for an indefinite period of time, the Attari limit closed and Visa from all Pakistani nationals in India have been withdrawn.
Many have not excluded a military action, although the case was not discussed during the All-Party meeting held last week to discuss the measures against Pakistan.
