LONDON: Former Pakistan cricketer and star all-rounder Shahid Afridi on Wednesday has accused Indian media of “misconstruing” his comments and maintained that Kashmiris should get their rights.

Shahid Afridi took to popular social media site Twitter to clarify the issue and accused the Indian media of misconstruing his comments and that he was passionate about his country,

He said, “My comments are being misconstrued by Indian media! I m passionate about my country and greatly value the struggles of Kashmiris. Humanity must prevail and they should get their rights.”

Afridi further added, “My clip is incomplete & out of context as what I said before that is missing.Kashmir is unresolved dispute & under brutal Indian occupation. It must be resolved as per UN resolution. Myself along with every Pakistani support Kashmiri freedom struggle. Kashmir belongs to Pakistan.”

Earlier, Shahid Afridi found himself into hot water when he was addressing students at British Parliament and asked India and Pakistan to leave Kashmir “for the sake of humanity” and let Kashmir be independent, “I am saying Pakistan does not want Kashmir, don’t even give Kashmir to India. Let them be independent. Humanity is big thing. Humans are being killed there. It hurts to see humans being killed irrespective of their religion,” Afridi said.
