The political war of words between India and Pakistan has been on a rise since the Article 370 was abrogated, ending the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. 

To add to Imran Khan's rhetoric, Javed Miandad has entered the field. 

A video of former Pakistan batting great Javed Miandad went viral on Sunday. In the video, he is seen giving his two bits on the Kashmir situation.

“Kashmiri brothers don’t worry. We are with you. Earlier I used a bat to hit a six, now I can use this sword...If I can hit a sixer with a bat, can’t I kill a man with a sword,” said Miandad in what is blatant incitement to violence. 

Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad threatening India while holding a sword: Pehle main balle se chakka marta tha, ab talwar se insaan maaronga (If I can hit six with a bat, why can't I swing sword.. I used to hit sixes with bat, now I'll kill humans with sword)... pic.twitter.com/blmK1XnbKS

Miandad is not the first cricketer to do so. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi too has also peddled Pakistan's agenda on Kashmir. 

Let’s respond to PM call for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren. On 6 Sep I will visit home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LOC.

Afridi tweeted saying, “Let’s respond to PM calls for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren. On 6 Sep I will visit the home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LOC (sic).”

However, despite all efforts, Pakistan has got very little support in this issue from global community.
