Following the recent terrorist attack in Pulwama, Indian Army launched a precise and powerful air strike targeting nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).

This operation, named Operation Sindoor, has drawn global attention and created unrest across Pakistan. While Indian cricketers have proudly applauded the Army's swift response, Pakistani cricketer Umar Akmal reacted with a controversial post on Instagram.

Instead of addressing the gravity of the situation, Umar Akmal wrote, “Pakistan Zindabad, Pakistan Army Zindabad” - a statement seen by many as a hollow threat.
