In a widely circulated video on social media, the Pakistani cricketer could be seen being welcomed on stage, alongside his ex-teammate Umar Gul.
Shahid Afridi was recently welcomed by a Kerala community in Dubai.
Cochin University B.Tech Alumni Association organised the controversial event.
Afridi blamed India for security failures following Pahalgam terror attack.
Weeks after Shahid Afridi mocked the Indian side in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terrorist attack, a Kerala community in Dubai welcomed the former Pakistan cricketer, inviting backlash from social media users. The Cochin University B.Tech Alumni Association (CUBAA) organised the event at the Pakistan Association Dubai (PAD) last week and extended hospitality to Afridi, who has time and again made distasteful remarks against Indians.
In a widely circulated video on social media, the notorious Pakistani cricketer could be seen being welcomed on stage, alongside his ex-teammate Umar Gul, by the community amid loud cheers. As he arrived, some members could be heard breaking into chants of “boom Boom” in an apparent reference to the cricketer’s nickname. The 47-year-old responded by saying, “Hogaya Boom Boom”.
