Former Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has strongly condemned Pakistan for breaking the ceasefire with India on Sunday. The cricketer didn’t mince his words and took to social media platform X, formerly Twitter.
India and Pakistan both agreed on ceasefire after days of attacks which was facilitated by the US President Donald Trump. Hours after the ceasefire was declared Pakistan was again back to basics and attacked several areas. Following this violation, “Shikhar Dhawan strongly posted and wrote: Ghatiya desh ne fir apna ghatiyapan poori duniya ke aage dikha diya. #Pakistan” (“That pathetic country has once again shown its disgraceful behavior to the whole world. #Pakistan”)
Ghatiya desh ne fir apna ghatiyapan poori duniya ke aage dikha diya. #Pakistan#Ceasefire
