Kashmir

Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris, not Indians or Pakistanis, Imran Khan must do more, says Afridi

Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi on Monday said that Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan must do more about Kashmir, and that both the India and Pakistan need to resolve the issue through a Kashmiri-owned, Kashmiri-led peace process, PTI reported.

Speaking at the launch of his autobiography, Afridi said, “Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris. Not to Indians. Not to Pakistanis. That debate comes later. But first and foremost, Kashmir is for the Kashmiri people themselves.”

Afridi praised Khan for the steps taken towards rehabilitating the peace with India by opening the Kartarpur corridor and releasing IAF pilot Abhinandan after February’s stand-off.

“However, Imran Khan must do more about Kashmir. We have to resolve that issue. We have to save the Kashmiri people, and we must involve them in the peace process. Nobody in the Indian subcontinent has suffered or struggled more than Kashmiris,” he said.

Afridi has come out with his autobiography in which tells his life story just the way he bats – instinctively, candidly and with no holds barred.

“Game Changer” is co-written with journalist Wajahat S Khan and published by HarperCollins India imprint Harper Sport.
