Do not mention the names of such jokers in front of me. Forget about these people,” Owaisi said when asked about Afridi.“It is my demand that Pakistan must be placed back on the FATF grey list. They are financing terrorism with illegal money, so it is necessary to put Pakistan back on the FATF grey list. Under international law, we can impose a naval and air force blockade. Under Article 51 of the United Nations, the right to self-defence is granted. In the Indian Constitution, Article 355 states that if there is external aggression against any state, it is the government's responsibility to counter it,” Owaisi added.Also read | ‘Let us stay or send in body bags’: Pakistani wives of former Kashmiri militants urge govtWhat did Afridi say?During his appearance on Pakistani news channel Samaa TV, Afridi said that India tends to blame its nuclear-armed neighbour even if a firecracker is burst. He also pointed fingers at the Indian army for the attack and said, “You have an 8,00,000-strong army in Kashmir, and this still happened.""It means you are inefficient and useless if you can't provide security to the people,” he said.Watch the video hereAfridi's statements drew a backlash from former Pakistani cricketer Danish Kaneria, who said the former Pakistan cricket team captain has a history of aligning with extremist views."He has consistently aligned himself with extremist views. In my opinion, he should not be given a platform on Indian television or within the country. Additionally, he tried to persuade me to convert to Islam and declined to share a meal with me, which I found deeply disrespectful," he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
