'If I can hit six with a bat, why can't I swing sword': Former Pak cricketer Javed Miandad threatens India on Kashmir

The political war of words between India and Pakistan has been on a rise since the Article 370 was abrogated, ending the special status of Jammu and Kashmir. 

To add to Imran Khan's rhetoric, Javed Miandad has entered the field. 

A video of former Pakistan batting great Javed Miandad went viral on Sunday. In the video, he is seen giving his two bits on the Kashmir situation.

“Kashmiri brothers don’t worry. We are with you. Earlier I used a bat to hit a six, now I can use this sword...If I can hit a sixer with a bat, can’t I kill a man with a sword,” said Miandad in what is blatant incitement to violence.

Miandad is not the first cricketer to do so. Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi too has also peddled Pakistan's agenda on Kashmir. 

Let’s respond to PM call for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren.
On 6 Sep I will visit home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LOC.

Afridi tweeted saying, “Let’s respond to PM calls for Kashmir Hour as a nation. I will be at Mazar e Quaid at 12 pm on Friday. Join me to express solidarity with our Kashmiri brethren. On 6 Sep I will visit the home of a Shaheed. I will soon be visiting LOC (sic).”

However, despite all efforts, Pakistan has got very little support in this issue from global community.
