Indian media loses the plot after Shahid Afridi's Kashmir tweet

[Bewal Express]

I was never a fan of the Afridi the cricketer but to through a billion Indians into hissy fits, makes me fan.

Indians can tell you better but when was the last time when India was discussed on a top Pakistan channel for an hour ? I cannot even remember but there are long discussion(more like bashing) regarding Pakistan on Indian channels. There media is solely responsible for filling them with so much hatred.

Dnt say this. I can send thousand shows and newshours where india is discussed with in last week.. You can find anything on google.

Its amazing how relevant Afridi is in India. In the past many Indian actors have made anti-Pakistan comments but no one cared or created a fuss. But here, one tweet from Afridi has sent the entire indian media into a frenzy. I guess people there really hang on every word that Afridi says.

Loving this. They are just so sensitive )

Lala is taking the term keyboard warrior to the next level. With 140 characters from his keyboard, it’s as if he’s launched 140 nuclear missiles on India. Thats what it seems like judging by the reaction

Thanks Indian media for highlighting this statement by Afridi in a big way. I liked Kohli and Kapil's response. As per Kohl, " everyone has his own opinion, I personally would support everything which is good for my country".
Kapil: " who is Afridi ? why media is giving him so much importance" ?

Kohli really has a very good head on his shoulders and a media think tank team to back him up. He knew that this thing would blow over in a few days and then the media dogs would go searching for some other bone. Also loved his answer re Ind/Pak final or first game in CT (forgot which) when reporters were trying to feed him answers but he said something along the lines that "IF you have already come here with your minds made up and to instigate things then I don't really have anything to say to you".

Great day for Indian media

A girls response to Gambhir lol "You have the audacity to call someone ******** when you don't know how to spell 19"

 

[IAJ]

Communal strife? What has that got to do with Pakistan?

No relations with Pakistan will be better than what we have today. Sometimes staying awsy helps.

Please stay away from this forum then. Don’t you have any self-respect? You don’t want your cricketers to play against Pakistan yet you are posting on a Pakistani forum. Why this double standard? Why not walk the talk and lead from front?

 

[Slog]

Reminds me of Sharapova-gate this?

Too easy to put Indian lungis in a twist

 

[IAJ]

This Arnab Goswami just wants to stay relevant and capture more viewers and just doing what his politicians do, using the enemy-card when elections are approaching.

This guy start calling his own people traitors if they dont share his rubbish views and I am sure he would start calling Tendulkar that if he didn’t say anything on the current issue.

I am talking about top and most watched channels like Geo, ARY, Dunya, express etc. Feel free to send thousands of shows in which India is discussed for an hour in last week, not just 15-20 minutes segments.

There is nothing apart from 10-15 minute segments where they are discussing India among other issues. Unlike India where whole shows are dedicated to Pakistan bashing, these type of shows are quite rare in Pakistani media and they do not get much rating either. Paranoia in India regarding Pakistan is on a different level.

Dude that's small segments. But there are whole episodes on india. What are you talking about ?when i search for punjabi comedy shows then i do come across some of your news shows as well. I have watched plenty.

 

[big_gamer007]

Indian media is based on sensationalism at the moment.. So they need such shows to compete with each other, there was a time when debates happened between qualified professionals who gave their views now its just who can shout the loudest..

It’s been the same for last 5 years so nothing new..

The media are so greedy that rather than ignoring his tweet which would have resulted in no one caring or wondering about situation in Kashmir for their own profits they made an anti Pakistan program where now his tweets have got more coverage and more audience.. And then they call themselves patriotic bunch of greeedy *****.

 

[Saeed]

Afridi-ISI link exposed these indian media channels are hilarious )

New link exposed, Sachin and Dravid caught meeting with a Pakistani general, just don’t let Arnab know about this.

I think it's even hilarious than that....Afridi is a known troll. Falling hook, line and sinker on his tweet is really something only Indians could do.

 

[Yossarian]

A tweet from Shahid Afridi could influence another country's political policies. His tweets seem to have more power than Trump's tweets.

It's reckoned Trump tweeting is worth about $2billion in annual revenue for Twitter. The publicity that Afridi's tweet generated on Indian media, considering India's population of 1.3 billion, means that surely Afridi's agent should be negotiating with Twitter as to how much Afridi should be paid by Twitter for each tweet Afridi makes about India. It could be the biggest 'sports sponsorship' contract ever!

 

[Adijazz1706]

Kohli and Kapil Dev are the only ones who have refused to get dragged into the mud. Everyone else is swimming in a deep pile of sh*t and seem to be enjoying it. Wonder what coverage is like on Indian channels, and especially that one guy who shouts at everyone.

Kapil has played in Kashmir, he knows more about us than these reporters and Gambhir types

 

[aniket1911]

So we had riots and curfew in some of the cities and these idiots were discussing a ball gnawing Afridi on their shows.

Makes me wonder if this all was an attention diverting tactic by media and politicians alike from the facts that their beloved vote bank - dalits were burning the whole country down.
