<p>Former Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi made controversial remarks against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a recent visit to Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK). As expected, there was sudden outrage against the former Pakistan captain as people slammed him for disrespecting PM Modi and the country.</p>

<p>Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh’s name continued to pop up on social media platforms as they had extended help to Shahid Afridi Foundation in its battle against COVID-19. Now, Harbhajan has slammed Afridi for his comments as the veteran spinner said that Afridi’s comments are unacceptable while adding that he should stay within his limits.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Former India cricket-turned-politician, Gautam Gambhir also tore into Afridi by taking to social media platform Twitter as he wrote: “Pak has 7 lakh force backed by 20 Cr ppl says 16 yr old man @SAfridiOfficial. Yet begging for Kashmir for 70 yrs. Jokers like Afridi, Imran &amp; Bajwa can spew venom against India &amp; PM @narendramodi ji to fool Pak ppl but won't get Kashmir till judgment day! Remember Bangladesh?”</p>

<p>As for his relations with Afridi, it's a closed chapter now. "One person asks me to make an appeal for the sake of humanity, and I did my bit. That was it. I have no relation or tie-up with any Shahid Afridi from here on," Harbhajan signed off.<br />
