He also said that the Indian government blamed Pakistan for the Pulwama attack without any evidence and insisted that the issue can only be resolved through dialogue. "What would Pakistan benefit from it? Why would Pakistan do such a thing when it has been moving towards peace. It is in our interest that nobody from our soil spreads violence. I want to tell the Indian government that we will take action if evidence is found against anyone from Pakistan," Khan said.

Meanwhile, Afridi took to Twitter and shared Khan's video statement on the Pulwama attack and wrote "Absolutely crystal&Clear". ‘Kya Hogaya Usko’, Shahid Afridi Reacts After Being Asked About Gautam Gambhir’s War Statement Post Pulwama Terror Attack; Watch Video.
