Rajnath Singh agrees with Shahid Afridi; takes jibe at Pakistan

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Home Minister Rajnath Singh has said that he agrees with former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi’s remarks that his country cannot manage Kashmir. “Baat to thik kaha unhone. Woh Pakistan nahi sambhal pa rahe, Kashmir kya sambhal paayenge. Kashmir Bharat ka part tha, hai, aur rahega, (What he has said is right.

They are not able to manage Pakistan, how could they manage Kashmir. Kashmir is a part of India and shall remain so),” Mr. Singh said at a press conference in Raipur. Afridi had on Wednesday stirred a hornet’s nest when he said “Pakistan doesn’t need Kashmir, as it cannot manage its own four provinces” and imposed that Kashmir be given “independence”

In a viral video of the former Pakistan skipper’s address to students at the British parliament, Shahid Afridi was heard saying: “Pakistan doesn’t want Kashmir… Pakistan can’t even manage its four provinces.” The 38-year-old’s remarks come as an embarrassment to Pakistan’s new government headed by cricket legend Imran Khan.
