Opposition parties including Shiv Sena (UBT), DMK, and Congress are demanding answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the terror strike, alleged intelligence failures, Operation Sindoor, and Donald Trump's claims of mediating between India and Pakistan. Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi slammed the government over misleading sketches and delayed arrests. DMK's TR Baalu demanded answers on both the Pahalgam killings and the mysterious air crash following the airstrikes. With pressure mounting on the government, will PM Modi break his silence?

Shahid Afridi Breaks Silence On India vs Pakistan Legends Match Cancellation, Says "One Bad egg..."
The cancellation of the India vs Pakistan match in the World Championship of Legends on Sunday triggered the sports vs politics debate again, with Pakistan Champions captain Shahid Afridi suggesting that the two should be kept separate from each other. Shikhar Dhawan, a member of India Champions' team, categorically said no to playing against Pakistan in the WCL match in Birmingham (England), while a number of other Indian cricketers like Yuvraj Singh, the Pathan brothers, etc. also pulled out. The situation forced the organisers to call off the match. Speaking to reporters after the fixture was cancelled, Afridi strangely stressed the need for cricket and politics to be kept apart despite being involved making provocative political statements on multiple occasions in the past. "We are here to play cricket, and I've always said that cricket should be kept away from politics - it should move forward. A player should be a good ambassador, not a source of embarrassment for their country," Afridi told reporters. The former Pakistan national team skipper even said that India shouldn't have come to the venue if they didn't want to play. "We've come here to play cricket. If [India] didn't want to play against Pakistan, they should've refused before coming here. But now you've arrived, even held practice sessions, and then suddenly changed everything in a single day," he added. If there hadn't been a social media backlash, Remember, my friend, this match would still be happening. I would like to request you all for The same old Facebook trend on X each repost equals a slap for Shahid Afridi. Secondly, Shahid Afridi said something in this… — Akash Srivastava (@isrivastavas) July 21, 2025 Afridi even seemed to have called Dhawan a 'bad egg', as he was the first one to raise objection on the Indo-Pak match in the WCL, doing so for the first time a couple of months ago, before reiterating his stance on Saturday. "Sports bring people closer, but if politics gets involved in everything, how will we move forward? Until we sit together and discuss issues, nothing will improve - lack of communication only makes things worse," he said. "We've come here to play cricket, to have one-on-one interactions and friendly conversations. But sometimes, there's one rotten egg that spoils everything for everyone else." "If I had known the match was being stopped because of me, I wouldn't have even gone to the ground. But cricket should go on. What is Shahid Afridi in front of cricket? Nothing," he said. "The game comes first. As a sport, cricket is the biggest thing. Bringing politics into it or an Indian cricketer saying he won't play against Pakistan - then don't play, just sit out. But sports is bigger, cricket is bigger, and it's bigger than Shahid Afridi too," he concluded. What Shikhar Dhawan Said On Playing Against Pakistan On Saturday, taking to social media, Dhawan confirmed his stance on the eve of the contest He said: " Jo Kadam 11 May ko liya, uspe aaj bhi waise hi khada hoon. Mera desh mere liye sab kuch hai, aur desh see badhkar aur kuch nahi hota. (The decision I took on 11 May, I still stand by it. My country is everything to me, and nothing is greater than the country)." Dhawan wasn't the only Indian player to have refused to play against Pakistan, with the likes of Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, the Pathan brothers, etc. also maintaining the same stance. The entire team's decision was communicated to the organisers, hence, the fixture had to be called off.

Shahid Afridi Calls This Player ‘Rotten Egg' After India Pulls Out Of WCL Clash Against Pakistan
A highly anticipated clash between India and Pakistan at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 was called off on Sunday, July 20, following a major controversy involving former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. Several Indian players reportedly opted out of the exhibition match, citing Afridi's past comments against India during sensitive diplomatic moments, particularly following Operation Sindoor. Afridi Calls Out Shikhar Dhawan for India's No-Show Speaking to the media on the scheduled match day, Afridi expressed disappointment over India's withdrawal, directly blaming Shikhar Dhawan for influencing the decision. According to Afridi, Dhawan's open refusal to play in the presence of Afridi led to a domino effect within the Indian camp. "Sports brings countries closer. If politics comes between everything then how will you move forward? But you know, there is always one rotten egg, which spoils everything," Afridi told local reporters, taking a direct dig at Dhawan without naming him initially but later referring to him as the reason behind the fallout. 'Should Have Stayed Home': Afridi Lashes Out at India Afridi went on to call Dhawan an 'embarrassment' and suggested that the entire Indian team should have stayed back in India instead of pulling out at the last minute. "They trained a day before the match. I think that they pulled out just because of one guy. Even the Indian team is very disappointed. They were here to play," he added. He further stated, 'You should be a good ambassador for the country, not an embarrassment.' Afridi's Changing Tone: From Diplomatic to Derogatory Interestingly, Afridi presented himself as a peace-loving cricket ambassador during the press conference. "I came here to play cricket, not politics. If they didn't want to play because of me, I would have stayed home. Cricket should have continued. Who is Shahid Afridi in front of cricket? No one," he said. However, this version of Afridi contradicted his controversial statement from April 2025, where he accused the Indian government of targeting its own citizens in Pahalgam to malign Pakistan. 'India carries out terrorism itself, kills its own people, and then puts the blame on Pakistan,' he had claimed in a Pakistani press interaction. Backlash on Social Media Influenced Decision The cancellation of the India vs Pakistan match at Edgbaston was not solely based on internal team decisions. A massive uproar on Indian social media platforms erupted after the fixture was announced. Many questioned the ethics of former Indian players participating in a match involving Pakistani cricketers while tensions at the border remained high. This was to be the first cricketing face-off between the two countries since Operation Sindoor, an Indian counter-terrorism operation that escalated diplomatic hostilities earlier this year. Indian Players Express Discomfort with Afridi's Presence Sources close to the Indian camp revealed that several players expressed discomfort at sharing the field with Afridi after his remarks against India. Shikhar Dhawan, one of the senior-most players in the squad, took a public stand and declared that he would not take part in the fixture if Afridi was present. The cancellation of this match is a significant setback to efforts aimed at reviving cricketing ties between the two nations. Organizers of WCL 2025 had pinned hopes on the India-Pakistan fixture to bring star power and crowd energy, especially since nearly 18,000 fans were expected to attend the match at Edgbaston.
