The issue of Jammu and Kashmir had once again triggered controversies throughout the country. Amidst all the chaos, Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan has asked people to not bring religion in every issue.
Pathan Protests
Since the news of the Article 370 withdrawal broke, people started taking stands for and against the Government. Meanwhile, the government has asked people of other states to return from Jammu and Kashmir at the soonest. Irfan Pathan, who is the player-cum-mentor of the J&K Ranji team, is one of the 100 cricketers who have been asked to leave the state as well. But amidst all these some people are questioning this step of the Government and trying to involve religion. Pathan has protested on the same and asked them to not invoke religion in everything and keep asking for proof for every move of the Government.
He has also given reference of Amarnath Yatra and mentioned that the forced cancellation of Amarnath yatra is proof enough that there is a threat and so people should stop looking at motives behind every such call. He tweeted, “fact that #AmarnathYatris have been asked to go back and stopped the #Yatra means it is under threat. That’s why security measures are taken. Apni gandi soch Badlo. Har baat mein religion mat daalo. Har baat mein saboot mat maango.”
Pathan sends support
Earlier while speaking to ANI Pathan informed, “Our camp has been shut down and the cricketers were sent back to their homes. The camp was from June 14 to July 14 and after a break of ten days, camp restarted from July 25. Yesterday, about 100 players were sent back to their home.” Now he has shown his empathy to the Indian Army and Indian Kashmiris in this hour of need. “Both, my mind & heart are still back in Kashmir with Indian army & Indian Kashmiri brothers and sisters.”
