Harbhajan, Gambhir slam Afridi over controversial remarks on PM Modi
Former Pakistan all-rounder Shahid Afridi's recent remarks on Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi were deemed outrageous in India. Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh hit back at the 40-year-old for his controversial statement. A video has emerged on social media which shows how Afridi is criticizing PM Narendra Modi, while addressing a huge crowd in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Here is more.
Afridi takes a dig at PM Modi
The former Pakistani cricketer was seen denouncing Modi in the video. "I am delighted to be in your village. I was planning to visit you all from a long time. The world is currently infected by a big disease. But the bigger disease is in Modi's mind. Modi deployed 7 lakh soldiers in Kashmir, same as the total strength of Pakistani forces," he said.

Harbhajan Singh lashed out at Afridi
Last month, Indian cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh donated funds for a foundation, operated by Afridi. The duo, who backed Afridi's foundation, later received flak on social media following the donation. "One person asks me to make an appeal for the sake of humanity, and I did my bit. That was it. I have no relation with Afridi from here on," Harbhajan said.
'Afridi should stay in his limits', says Harbhajan
"Afridi is talking ill about our country. All I have to say is we have nothing to do with Shahid Afridi. He has no right to speak ill against our country and he should stay in his country and limits," added Harbhajan.
Gambhir expressed discontentment on Twitter
Former Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was also unhappy with Afridi's statements. Gambhir has also given befitting response to the latter in past. "Pakistan has 7 lakh force backed by 20 crore people says 16-year-old man @SAfridiOfficial. Yet begging for Kashmir for 70 years. Jokers like Afridi, Imran & Bajwa can spew venom against India & PM @narendramodi ji to fool Pak ppl," Gambhir tweeted.
