The controversy that was erupted after the tweet of former Pakistani Cricket Team Captain, Shahid Afridi took a new turn when former Pakistani pacer notoriously known as “Rawalpindi Express”, Shoaib Akhtar also tweeted about the freedom of Kashmir.
Shoaib Akhtar tweeted and said,
“Finally Salman gets a relief from honourable court I wish 1 day in my life time i get a news of Kashmir Palestine Yemen Afghanistan & all the troubled area of the world are free bcoz my heart bleeds for humanity & loss of innocent life ..”
After this tweet faced severe backlash, Shoaib Akhtar deleted this tweet only to post a new one. In his new tweet he urged the Youth of both nations to find a solution.
“Both side of youth need to stand up for India and Pakistan relationship and ask authorities right and difficult questions that why we haven’t even [been] able to sort out our pending issues for last 70 years. I ask you are you ready to live another 70 years of your lives with this hatred,”

Later, Shoaib in an interview to Asian News International said,
Both the governments need to talk about the issue, till when will we live in bloodshed? Do we want our children to live in such a situation? It has been 70 years, lives are being lost on both sides: Shoaib Akhtar to ANI on Kashmir. (File Pic) pic.twitter.com/u5a2UkZgzh

On Kashmir, Shoaib Akhtar made an another tweet and said,
Kashmir issues needs to be resolved as per Kashmiri people wishes & both side of governments needs to address that within the parameters of UN resolution human life is important either it’s Muslim or no Muslim plz learn to love each other not hate ..

In his interview to ANI, Shoaib said, “Whatever Shahid Afridi has said is his point of view. My point of view is to talk about unresolved issues. Why the youth of the both countries do not understand how important it is to talk about the unresolved issues and try to move forward,”.
“The problem is that the youth of India and Pakistan, besides hating each other, they are not talking about resolving the issues. Who is going to talk about unresolved issues those have been pending from last 70 years,” he said.
“How long we will live in bloodshed? Do we want our children to live in such a situation? It has been 70 years; lives are being lost on both sides.”
“The only thing is that till one will not talk about unresolved issues, the situation will never calm down. We will keep on bashing and hating each other. I am sick of it. Why Pakistan and India are not talking about unresolved issues. This kind of hatred I have never seen in anywhere in part of the world. The amount of hatred we have is too much,” he added.’
Meanwhile this is how Indians responded to this whole controversy,
@shoaib100mph No, in India the matter is in hands of a Democraticly Elected Government whereas in Pakistan it is the Brain Dead Army which is sponsoring Terror across border

अख़्तर मियां हमने तो हज़ार मर्तबा कोशिश की मगर हर बार, बार बार, लगातार हमारी हर कोशिश को हमारी कमज़ोरी समझा गया दोस्ताना माहौल कायम करने के लिए हमारे रहनुमाओं ने हर मुमकिन कदम उठाया मगर……

Kya talk bhai? Go back to history. Harisingh merged Kashmir to India. Aap logon ne POK galat tarike se le rakha hai.. usko chod do saara natak khatam ho jayega…
Practical and logic se baat karo.. logon ko religion ke naam pe bhadkana bandh karo jaise abhi Salman ke case me hua
