Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi has praised Rahul Gandhi, giving fresh ammunition to the ruling BJP to target the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha. Mr Afridi was speaking during a panel discussion on a Pakistani TV channel on the India-Pakistan Asia Cup match, which sparked a major controversy after Indian cricketers refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts on Sunday.
The former criticised the ruling BJP for having a “very nasty mindset” and said, “Rahul Gandhi has a very positive mindset. He wants to take everyone together through dialogue. Is one Israel not enough that you are trying to become another?”
