A video of former national cricket team captain and all-rounder Shahid Afridi in Birmingham is going viral. In the video, some Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters are shouting slogans against him.
Shahid Afridi and other former Pakistani players are in the UK for the World Championship of Legends event.
The video shows Afridi leaving a tea restaurant in Birmingham, United Kingdom. A crowd had gathered to take pictures with him. Among them were some PTI supporters who suddenly started chanting, “shame, shame.”
Social media users have replied to the video in various ways. One user noted that only a single PTI supporter was holding a camera and abusing Afridi while everyone else showed him affection. Praising Afridi, the user highlighted his character, mentioning that Afridi still shook hands with the person insulting him.
Another user commented that while political disagreements with Afridi are possible, chanting “shame shame” slogans is highly inappropriate.
It is important to note that Afridi has previously criticized PTI founder Imran Khan for his negative politics, which has led to hostility from PTI supporters.
