Former Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh have said that they regret helping Shahid Afridi after the former Pakistan all-rounder criticised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Afridi, in a video, said that Modi was playing politics in the name of religion and will have to answer for oppressing the people of Pakistan.
Harbhajan, while speaking during a conversation on Instagram, reacted to the Pakistan cricketer’s comments.
“I wanted to play my role in helping humanity given the circumstances at that time,” the former off-spinner said. “I didn’t know that it would hurt so many people. I would like to apologize to all of them and I promise you that I will never such statements that will hurt the people of my country.”
Yuvraj also voiced his thoughts on the comments made by the Multan Sultans’ all-rounder.
Really disappointed by @SAfridiOfficial‘s comments on our Hon’b PM @narendramodi ji. As a responsible Indian who has played for the country, I will never accept such words. I made an appeal on your behest for the sake of humanity. But never again.
