'93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered to Indian army': World Championship medallist boxer sends reminder to Shahid Afridi
Indian boxer and 2017 World Championship medallist has slammed Shahid Afridi for questioning the Indian Army. He also said that the world knows Pakistan 'sponsors' terrorism. read more Indian boxer Gaurav Bidhuri, who won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Boxing Championships, has reminded Shahid Afridi of the 1971 war and the surrender of approximately 93,00 Pakistani soldiers as the former Pakistan all-rounder engaged in anti-India and anti-Indian Army remarks in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack. Amid the rising tension between India and Pakistan, Afridi had termed the Indian Army 'useless' as they failed to protect the tourists in Pahalgam. 26 tourists lost their lives in the terror attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on 22 April. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Reacting strongly to Afridi's disparaging remarks, Bidhuri slammed the former Pakistan cricket team captain for questioning the Indian Army and deflecting the blame. 'The entire country is still in shock over the attacks in Pahalgam and the steps taken by the Indian government have driven Pakistanis crazy. The interview by Shahid Afridi in which he talked about how eight lakh Indian soldiers could not do anything to stop the attack, I would like to remind you that in 1971, 93,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered to our army so please don't try to teach us about capability," Bidhuri told IANS on Wednesday. 'When asking for proof, why should we prove anything to you. The entire world knows that Pakistan is supporting terrorist organisations. The proxy group of the banned Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba 'The Resistance Front' has claimed responsibility for the attack. 'You were talking about sports diplomacy, so I would like to point out how recently Neeraj Chopra himself invited your Olympic champion Nadeem, so don't talk to us about sportsmanship. You have your PSL; we have IPL. Please see where the world is playing; you talked about how you received threats in India. Please realise the world is playing here while no one is coming there. You've obviously gone crazy, but the world knows what Pakistan is.' The 31-year-old boxer, Bidhuri, on Thursday said that the world is well aware of how Pakistan sponsors terrorism. 'Indian cricket team, अब #ShahidAfridi हमें सिखाएंगे! (Now Shahid Afridi will teach us!) 93K Pak soldiers surrendered in '71, #IndianArmy need no schooling. The world knows Pakistan's role in sponsoring terror. We need not to give any proof. I stand firmly with our security forces,' he wrote on X.
