Afridi stated that Imran Khan made a lot of mistakes during his tenure as the Prime Minister of the country. He further added that Imran should realize and admit the mistakes he made and be held accountable. Afridi said that he along with his family had high hopes for Imran Khan but he failed to deliver.
The 42-year-old’s comments did not sit well with the supporters of Imran Khan’s political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), as they took to Twitter to troll the former national team captain.
The majority of the netizens disagreed with Afridi and voiced their support for Imran Khan while others backed him for voicing his opinion on the political landscape of the country.
Here are a few comments:

People loved Shahid Afridi with patience despite his 20+ years of long disappointing career. Now he expects change in only three years#امپورٹڈ_حکومت_نامنظور #MarchAgaintsImportedGovt

OK guys let’s talk about Shahid Afridi. Liking/disliking and appreciating/criticizing any political party/personality is everyone’s personal opinion. You have the right to disagree with him but plz don’t disrespect our national hero because of political differences
