Anti-India former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi received a warm welcome from the Indian Kerala community during an event held at the Pakistan Association Dubai. Shahid Afridi is notorious for making statements against India, including his recent statement during Operation Sindoor when he said, “India kills its own people and then blames Pakistan.”
However, when Afridi arrived for the event in Dubai held by Cochin University B.Tech Alumni Association (CUBAA), the Kerala community members broke into chants of “Boom Boom”, Afridi responded by saying, “Ho gaya Boom Boom”.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
