Former Indian cricketer and BJP MP – Gautam Gambhir slammed Pakistan PM Imran Khan for his recent speech at UNGA, saying that he is “role model for terrorists” and despite being former sportsperson has no team spirit, ethics, or strength of character.
Sportspeople are supposed to be role models. Of good behavior. Of Team spirit. Of ethics. Of strength of character. Recently in the UN, we also saw a former sportsperson speak up. As a role model for terrorists. @ImranKhanPTI should be excommunicated from sports community.

Hundreds of netizens from Pakistan attacked the Indian politician for criticizing what they called a larger than life premier. Prominent among those was Indian author Prerna Bakshi, who seemed to win hearts of a lot of Twitter users with her sarcastic response to Gambhir, questioning his cricketing abilities.
