The political tensions are once again on a rise in Kashmir recently. The valley has witnessed a lot in the last few days. Meanwhile, on this line, Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi urged United Nations (UN) to take action. However, Gautam Gambhir slammed Afridi over his tweet while racking up Kashmir issue.

Moreover, Gambhir is now also facing the heat after his comments over Afridi’s tweet on Kashmir.

Afridi, in his tweet, urged UN to intervene and save the ‘innocents’ being shot in Kashmir. He also raised the question over the suppressing of the voice of self-determination.

Earlier, the former Pakistani skipper Afridi also draw the ire for his tweet on Kashmir before Gambhir hits back.

“Appalling and worrisome situation ongoing in the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Innocents being shot down by oppressive regime to clamp voice of self-determination & independence. Wonder where is the @UN & other int bodies & why aren’t they making efforts to stop this bloodshed?” Afridi tweeted.

Meanwhile, Gambhir, who is known to be outspoken on social media took it head on and replied back. The southpaw also mocked Afridi and said that for him UN means ‘Under Nineteen’.

Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What’s there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!!
