New Delhi: Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi has been lacerated on social media over a tweet on Kashmir, where he alleges there is an "appalling and worrisome situation" and urges UN intervention. This, on a day the US has taken action against a Pakistani outfit controlled by 26/11 mastermind Hafiz Saeed, who roams freely in Pakistan.


Afridi had also urged the United Nations (UN) and ‘other international bodies’ to take notice of the ‘Indian oppression’ and stop the’bloodshed’ of the defenceless civilians at the hands of Indian military.

Shahid Afridi was clobbered in tweets not just within the cricket fraternity but also by others. The definitive last word came from a fellow cricketer, Gautam Gambhir.

@GautamGambhir

Media called me for reaction on @SAfridiOfficial tweet on OUR Kashmir & @UN. What’s there to say? Afridi is only looking for @UN which in his retarded dictionary means “UNDER NINTEEN” his age bracket. Media can relax, @SAfridiOfficial is celebrating a dismissal off a no- ball!!!

Mumbai (PTI): Veteran screenwriter Salim Khan has been admitted to the ICU of Mumbai's Lilavati hospital on Tuesday, an insider said.

Khan is the writer of movie hits such as "Sholay", "Deewar" and "Zanjeer".

"He (Salim Khan) has been admitted to Lilavati hospital this morning. He is in the ICU," the insider told PTI.

Khan, who co-wrote the many Hindi cinema classics with Javed Akhtar in the 70s, celebrated his 90th birthday in November last year.
