NEW DELHI: Gautam Gambhir today slammed Pakistani cricketer
Shahid Afridi following his tweet on Kashmir saying that the Pakistani cricketer "is, as usual, celebrating a dismissal off a no-ball"
Earlier today, Afridi, in a tweet, had condemned the recent clampdown on terrorists in the Kashmir Valley and had urged the UN to intervene to stop the bloodshed.
"Shahid Afridi is, as usual, celebrating a dismissal off a no-ball," Gambhir said in a tweet.
Gambhir was responding to a tweet by Afridi where he had asked the United Nations to intervene in "Indian Occupied Kashmir" to stop the killing of "innocents".
"Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self-determination and independence," he tweeted.
On Sunday, 12 terrorists were killed in the Valley in one of the biggest security operations in recent history.
Considered to be one of the biggest counter-offensives in recent times against terror groups operating in the Kashmir Valley, the operations rendered a severe dent to terror groups such as Hizbul Mujahideen and the Lashkar-e-Taiba.
In the operations, which were conducted over the weekend in three separate locations in the Valley, 12 terrorists were killed, one was captured alive and four civilians lost their lives in the ensuing stone-pelting. Three jawans were also martyred in the gun battle with the terrorists.
