Danish Kaneria Criticizes PM Shehbaz Sharif Over Pahalgam Attack
Kaneria's comments have raised questions about Pakistan's role in the attack and the treatment of Hindus in the country, highlighting the need for greater transparency and accountability. The incident has sparked a global outcry, with leaders and the cricketing fraternity condemning the attack and calling for those responsible to be brought to justice.
Danish Kaneria, a former Pakistan cricketer, has criticized Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for his silence on the recent Pahalgam terror attack, which killed 26 people and drew global condemnation. Kaneria, a Hindu, questioned the Prime Minister's silence, suggesting that Pakistan is harboring terrorists.
The attack, carried out by The Resistance Front (TRF), a shadow outfit of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), has been widely condemned by leaders and the cricketing fraternity. Kaneria, who has faced discrimination in Pakistan due to his Hindu faith, defended his loyalty to the country, saying "I am a Hindu - a proud one". He highlighted the treatment of Hindus in Pakistan since Partition, in response to a social media user who accused him of sounding "more Indian".
Kaneria's comments have sparked a reaction, with many questioning the role of Pakistan in the attack. The country has denied any involvement, but Kaneria's criticism of the Prime Minister's silence has raised eyebrows. He suggested that if Pakistan has no role in the attack, the Prime Minister should condemn it, and that the sudden high alert of Pakistani forces suggests they are sheltering and nurturing terrorists.
The incident has once again highlighted the tense relationship between Pakistan and its neighbors, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi already condemning the attack and vowing to punish those responsible. As the situation continues to unfold, Kaneria's criticism of the Prime Minister is likely to spark further debate and discussion.
