Shahid Afridi’s Karachi Rally: Shahid Afridi’s ‘Victory Rally’ in Karachi Sparks Outrage Amid India-Pakistan Tensions

India, 12 May: Famous Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi led a big rally in Karachi, calling it a "victory rally." But people are confused—what is he celebrating?
Just days before, India’s air force attacked and destroyed many terrorist camps and military places in Pakistan as part of Operation Sindoor. So why is Afridi acting like Pakistan won something?
What Happened During Operation Sindoor?
India did this operation after a bad terror attack in Pahalgam, where innocent people were killed. To answer back, India:
-
Blew up 11 military airbases in Pakistan
-
Destroyed 26 terror camps
-
Made it clear: If you hurt us, we will fight back
Even the world noticed. Countries said India had the right to protect itself.
This swine, that jihadi Shahid Afridi was right for once—the world saw Pakistan.....How The Indian Air Force obliterated 11 Pakistani air bases and 26 terror targets with airstrikes.

So Why Is Afridi Celebrating?
Afridi didn’t talk about the damage to Pakistan. He didn’t mention how many soldiers were hurt or how many places were destroyed. He just waved flags and shouted on a microphone.
Some people say he’s trying to act strong so people in Pakistan don’t feel scared or sad.
The Controversy Around Afridi’s Family
There’s also something serious to know: Afridi’s cousin, Shaquib Afridi, was a terrorist who was killed by Indian soldiers in 2003 in Kashmir. That’s a real fact, not a rumor.
Afridi never talks about it, but he often says bad things about India and supports strange ideas. People wonder why.
Shahid Afridi is celebrating the killing of 40 soldiers, the elimination of over 100 terrorists in strikes on more than 9 terror camps, and the destruction of 9 airbases.#IndiaPakistanWar #indianArmy #PAFResponse2025 #IndiaPakistanWar2025 #Aurangzebpic.twitter.com/mm5eld7aSI pic.twitter.com/FJLKSe5i44

What the World Thinks
Most countries support India. They saw the terror attacks and the strong answer India gave. Pakistan tried to act like nothing happened, but the damage was clear.
Experts say Afridi’s rally wasn’t about winning—it was about hiding the truth.
The Real Question
So, what was the “victory” for? If your country loses soldiers, drones, and military bases—should you really be dancing in the streets?
Afridi may be trying to keep spirits high in Pakistan, but no one is fooled. India’s Operation Sindoor showed the world how serious India is about protecting itself.
