Afridi said Kashmiris must 'be given ir due rights as per UN resolution'. He also said that world peace body United Nations was sleeping. Afridi tried to bring in Donald Trump and igrantly said that 'US President must play his role to mediate.' This despite United States clarifying that Kashmir remains a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan and that Pakistan must stop supporting terror groups against India.

East Delhi MP Gautam Gambhir, who is t unfamiliar with giving it back to Shahid Afridi, did so once again saying unprovoked aggression and crimes against humanity would indeed be sorted, except that y were happening in PoK.

In an acid tweet, Gambhir said that Afridi is spot on but only thing he forgot to mention that all this is happening in "Pakistan Occupied Kashmir". Take a look at his tweet -

Home Minister Amit Shah moved resolution on Article 370 and a separate bill to bifurcate state into two separate union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.  statement read, "Furr, keeping in view prevailing internal security situation, fuelled by cross border terrorism in existing state of Jammu and Kashmir, a separate Union Territory for Jammu and Kashmir is being created. Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir will be with legislature."
