(Karachi) As part of Independence Day preparations, cricket star Shahid Afridi has hoisted flags of Palestine, Turkey, Kashmir and Pakistan at his house.

A twitter user shared a picture of Afridi's home where flags of all the four countries could be seen hoisted on the roof. Shahid Afridi is also visible in the pic.

Earlier, the former cricket captain, who has been involved in a lot of humanitarian work, amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, said: “The real beauty of Kashmir lies in the valiant spirit of courageous Kashmiris. Shahid Afridi Foundation values their sacrifices and honors their commitment to Pakistan.”

This is not the first time that the former Pakistan all-rounder has raised the issue of Kashmir. In fact, he had been involved in a number of Twitter wars over the Kashmir issue.

In 2019, he visited the Line of Control (LoC) to express solidarity with the people of Kashmir following the Indian government’s decision to abrogate Article 370 of the Indian constitution. He had even called for intervention by the UN and the US regarding the same.
