The tweet from Afridi comes on a day, when US has taken action against a Pakistani party Milli Muslim League (MML) controlled by 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, who roams freely in Pakistan.

This Young Kashmiri Politician gave him a befitting reply
Your own country is engulfed in human rights, fights terrorism and advocates same for the neighbour. There can’t be two sets of the definition. Preach to your own country, what you preach to the neighbour. https://t.co/O07K1xVQMd

Afridi on the other hand soon realized his mistake and tweeted talking about human rights of the people of Kashmir, however it proved too little too late to agologize.
We respect all. And this is an example as sportsman. But when it comes to human rights we expect the same for our innocent Kashmiris. pic.twitter.com/DT5aF1wX8P
