Gautam Gambhir urges ‘each and every’ country to stop aid to Pakistan
New Delhi: Former India Cricketer Gautam Gambhir, who has been vocal against terrorism and other social issues, on Thursday urged all the countries to stop aid to Pakistan.
In a tweet, the Delhi born cricketer said India fears that the money sent by countries to Pakistan is not being used for right causes.
He was referring to a tweet from Major Gaurav Arya (Retd.) who had shared a link to a petition to Australian Government. The tweet urged Australia to stop all aid to Pakistan claiming that any aid to Pakistan will only fund global terror.
Gambhir in his tweet further termed Australia as his ‘second most favoured cricketing nation' and urged it along with ‘each and every’ country to stop aid to Pakistan.
Ever since the Pulwama attack on CRPF convoy on February 14, India has made several attempts to diplomatically isolate Pakistan which is said to be the safe house of the perpetrators of the dastardly attack.
Gambhir is also touted to be in-line for BJP ticket for the Lok Sabha elections and is likely to contest from one of the constituencies in Delhi.
Here’s what Gambhir tweeted:
I’d urge each and every country to stop aids to Pakistan and most of all my second most favoured cricketing nation, Australia. India fears that your dollars are not being used for right causes #StopAidToPak https://t.co/HjfHmibUh3

4 workers die after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad
Dhanbad (Jharkhand) (PTI): At least four workers died after being buried under coal slurry in Jharkhand's Dhanbad district on Saturday, a police official said.
The incident took place at Moonidih coal washery in the command area of Bharat Coking Coal Limited (BCCL).
"Bodies of all four workers were dug out of debris during a rescue operation," Putki police station in-charge Waqar Hussain told PTI.
The incident took place when coal slurry was being loaded into trucks by workers, during which a large chunk of slurry fell and trapped several workers underneath, officials said.
The deceased have been identified as Manik Bauri, Dinesh Bauri, Deepak Bauri, and Hemlal Gope.
Meanwhile, the family members of the deceased and local villagers placed the bodies in front of the washery gate and began a protest.
They demanded compensation, jobs for dependents and action against those responsible for the incident.
Police and administration officials are trying to pacify the protesters, an official said.
