Former Pakistan cricketer Danish Kaneria has made a scathing attack on his country’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and blames him for the deadly terrorist attack in Pahalgam that left 26 dead.
“If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet?,” Kaneria, who has played 61 Tests for Pakistan wrote on X.
“Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth — you’re sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you.”
A widespread condemnation of the heinous terror attack, the deadliest act of violence since the 2019 Pulwama tragedy, and condolences for the victims, and their anguished families came from international leaders, as well as by notable figures in the cricketing world and prominent people from other industries.
In response to the terror attack, India has announced a series of significant measures:
