Some days back the famous and, of course, a former cricket great of Pakistan, Javed Miandad poured praises on our team India captain Virat Kohli, almost extolling the young cricketer to an unparalleled height.
We took that with a poise. Fairly recently, another Pakistani cricketer Haidar found a role-model in Rohit Sharma and that applause from across the boarder was digested well.
There were hardly any trending over those kudos or any seditious interpretations.
It is known that, Shahid Afridi had maintained a posture which was anti-Indian in sentiment over J&K.
But, this time around what he is doing or what has he appealed for, is not politics or anything to do with regionally contentious.
With his organization @SAfridiOfficial & @SAFoundationN he is supporting a cause which is purely humane in nature, reaching out to the ones who need the helps most when the specter of COVID spares none globally.
Cricket Harbhajan Singh or Yuvraj Singh, both who remained few of the match winners for India when it was required, are being demonized for praising Afridi for what he is doing at this time on the ground of humanity and that obviously transcends the limits of politics or any such acrimony at this juncture.
Statement in news channels and in the social media are there, as if the two Indian cricketer have become seditious, in essence, by their support for Afridi’s social services.
When politicians cross all boundaries physically to score brownie points then that falls under no category of sin.
