Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has launched a scathing attack on Indian media outlets, referring to them as ‘Cartoon Network’ in response to their coverage of India’s recent Military actions against Pakistan.
The tensions between India and Pakistan escalated in the aftermath of the Pahalgam attack in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
This incident has increased the already fragile relationship between the two countries.
On early Wednesday, India launched a “cowardly” missile attack on Pakistani territory, firing from across the Line of Control, according to Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
DG ISPR confirmed that the missiles targeted areas including Kotli, Muzaffarabad, Ahmedpur Sharqia, Bagh, and Muridke.
The Pakistan armed forces responded swiftly and successfully intercepted the threat and prevented Indian aircraft from breaching Pakistani airspace.
In retaliation, Pakistan’s military shot down five Indian aircraft, including Rafale and destroyed a brigade headquarters across the border, according to ISPR.
Shahid Afridi expressed his thoughts that Indian media resembles Cartoon Network, describing it as lacking seriousness when it comes to facts.
“Indian media reminds me of Cartoon Network. Always loud, animated, and never serious about facts,” he wrote on X
It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan and India have postponed their T20 leagues, Pakistan Super League (PSL) and Indian Premier League (IPL), due to rising tensions.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced the postponement of the remaining eight matches of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 10 due to cross-border tensions between India and Pakistan.
“The last 24 hours have seen a worsening of the situation on the LOC, increased incursion of 78 drones, and the firing of surface to surface missiles from India,” PCB said in a statement.
