'Why hasn’t Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned it yet...': Ex-Shahid Afridi's Danish Kaneria teammate blames Pakistan government for Pahalgam terror attack

Former cricketer Danish Kaneria blamed the Pakistan government for the Pahalgam terror attack that happened in Jammu & Kashmir. The incident happened on April 22 when at least 26 tourists were killed after gunmen opened fire on innocent civilians in Baisaran in Jammu and Kashmir.

Kaneria took his 'X' formerly known as Twitter to slam Pakistan's prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif and blamed his nation for the terror attack.

If Pakistan truly has no role in the Pahalgam terror attack, why hasn’t Prime Minister @CMShehbaz condemned it yet? Why are your forces suddenly on high alert? Because deep down, you know the truth — you’re sheltering and nurturing terrorists. Shame on you. Kaneria wrote.

Earlier, Pakistan's Olympic gold medallist Arshad Nadeem also declined to participate in the Neeraj Chopra Classic javelin throw meet, which is scheduled to take place in Bengaluru, as per Pakistan media.

Arshad Nadeem had cited a clash with his existing schedule as the reason for deciding not to participate in the Neeraj Chopra Classic, the one-day event that will be organised at the Sri Kanteerva Stadium in Bengaluru on May 24.

"I have declined the invitation as my schedule was finalised a year earlier, and I am going to attend an Asian meet in South Korea from May 27," Arshad was quoted as saying by Telecom Asia Sport (www.telecomasia.net). Arshad is currently on vacation in his hometown, Mian Channu.

Arshad will soon be returning to his base in Pakistan and will be preparing for the World Athletics Championship to be held in Tokyo in September.
