Jay Shah Salutes Armed Forces For Shielding Nation From Terrorism
Last Updated: Jay Shah praised the Indian armed forces for their bravery and saluted the country's soldiers for spearheading the fight against terrorism. International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah expressed solidarity with the Indian armed forces following their response to Pakistan's aerial strikes on Thursday in the aftermath of Operation Sindoor. Lauding the valour and commitment of the Indian forces, Shah saluted the country's soldiers for spearheading the fight against terrorism amid the tension with Pakistan. 'Our armed forces are our pride, and no words are enough to express their valour and commitment in protecting our motherland and people. We salute our brave men and women in the armed forces who are shielding our nation from terrorism. Let us unite to honour our heroes and build a stronger, more united India. #JaiHind," Shah wrote on his Instagram story. India's legendary spinner Anil Kumble also echoed Shah's sentiments and praised the 'unwavering courage" of the Indian armed forces. 'In uncertain times, one truth remains – our armed forces stand tall with unwavering courage. Their quiet determination is India's strongest shield. I salute every braveheart who guards our tomorrow. #JaiHind," Kumble posted on X. On Thursday, Pakistan launched aerial attacks on Jammu as well as several military stations near the western border, but India's air defence systems successfully foiled those attempts. Pakistan attempted strikes, involving drones and missiles, triggered blackouts and sirens across several areas in Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, and Rajasthan. Authorities urged residents to remain indoors and vigilant as emergency protocols were activated. The attacks seem to be in retaliation for Operation Sindoor by Indian armed forces on terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan, from where the attack on tourists in Pahalgam was planned. Terrorists killed 26 tourists – 25 Indians and one Nepali citizen near Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir. Amid the escalating conflict between India and Pakistan, the BCCI on Friday suspended the IPL 2025 with immediate effect, albeit for one week. The board added that the new schedule and venues of the tournament will be announced in due course after assessing the situation. First Published: May 09, 2025, 19:33 IST

Dubai Event Sparks Outrage As Kerala Group Hosts Shahid Afridi Amid India-Pak Tensions
Weeks after Shahid Afridi mocked the Indian side in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, a Kerala community in Dubai welcomed the former Pakistan cricketer, inviting backlash from social media users. The Cochin University Alumni Association (CUBAA) organised the event at the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) last week and extended hospitality to Afridi, who has time and again made distasteful remarks against Indians. In a widely circulated video on social media, the notorious Pakistani cricketer could be seen being welcomed on stage, alongside his ex-teammate Umar Gul, by the community amid loud cheers. As he arrived, some members could be heard breaking into chants of "boom Boom" in an apparent reference to the cricketer's nickname. The 47-year-old responded by saying, 'Hogaya Boom Boom". While India is in the middle of #OperationSindoor, the 'Indian Kerala community' in UAE was busy cheering Shahid Afridi & Umar Gul. Kerala once again shows its true colours celebrating Pakistani stars while our soldiers fight on the frontlines. Priorities, right? #KeralaModel … — महारथी-മഹാരഥി (@MahaRathii) May 30, 2025 After the criticism, CUBAA released a statement, claiming that the Pakistani cricketers turned up at the event uninvited as they were attending some other programme at the same venue. "On May 25, 2025 same day as our event, the aforementioned cricketers visited the same venue as part of the Guinness World Record for Largest UAE Flag with Handprints," read the statement. "As our program was concluding, these cricketers made an unannounced and unsolicited appearance at our event, which was held in the same auditorium. We would like to categorically state that no member of our organising team, officials or alumni members invited them nor coordinated this appearance."

"Tum logon ki 8 lakh hi fauj hai Kashmir mein aur yeh ho gaya. Iska matlab nalayak ho, nikamme ho na tum log security de nahi sake logon ko (You have an 800,000-strong army in Kashmir and this still happened. It means you are inefficient and useless if you can't provide security to the people)." Similarly, after India struck multiple Pakistani security establishments as part of Operation Sindoor, Afridi took out a car rally, proclaiming his country's 'victory' in the conflict.
