Kashmir has always been a most debated topic-be it on social media or offline. It has always triggered debates and angered people. The condition of the state and all what’s happening in the state has always left everyone in shock and with teary eyes.
Gautam Gambhir, the Indian cricketer, who is known for leaving with his heart on his sleeves, recently got indulged in a twitter war of words with Omar Abdullah, the former CM of J&K, over terrorist killings in Kashmir.
Well, recently, Gautam Gambhir took to twitter and held politicians including Mr Abdullah responsible for the death of Mannan Wani, a scholar from Aligarh Muslim University, who took to terrorism. Terrorist Mannan Wani, was one of the top men of Hizbul Mujahideen in Kashmir Valley, was killed in an encounter with security forces in Kupwara on Thursday.
Here, have a look at what Gautam Gambhir tweeted about Mannan Wani’s death :
Mannan Wani’s death: We killed a terrorist and lost a radicalised talent. @OmarAbdullah @MehboobaMufti @INCIndia @BJP4India all should bow their heads in embarrassment that they left a young man drift from books to embrace bullet.

Omar Abdullah gave a hard-hitting reply to Gautam Gambhir slamming him over his tweet. In his tweet, he wrote that Gambhir knows nothing about Kashmir and the condition of the youngsters there. Here’s what Mr Abdullah leader replied:
This man wouldn’t be able to find Manan’s home district on a map much less his village & yet he presumes to know what drives young men in Kashmir to pick up the gun. Mr Gambhir clearly knows less about Kashmir than I do about cricket & I know almost nothing. https://t.co/oZ8hc5VcgH

And this was the beginning of a full-fledged war between Omar Abdullah and Gautam Gambhir. The former cricketer replied back to Omar by saying that he is trying hard to change the map of India by talking Kashmir to Pakistan. Here, have a look at the reply of Gautam Gambhir :
Come on @OmarAbdullah you shouldn’t talk about maps, you are hell bent in changing the map of my country by talking Kashmir to Pakistan! Stroll out of that ivory tower and explain what u or ur fellow politicians have done to engage the Kashmiri youth @BJP4India @INCIndia

Omar Abdullah, in a reply to Gautam Gambhir said that he doesn’t need a lecture from someone like him and asked him to come back when he has educated himself about Kashmir. Read reply :
It’s been less than a week since I had two of my colleagues killed by terrorists, my party has lost 1000s of workers, both senior & junior since 1988. I don’t need a lecture in nationalism & sacrifice from someone who wouldn’t know sacrifice if it kicked him. https://t.co/iM14SarX5j

Come back when you’ve educated yourself about Kashmir and we can have an informed discussion till then you can keep playing to the galleries.

Gautam Gambhir slammed him brutally and hit the last nail in the coffin by saying that politicians like him are the reason why India is bleeding and nationalism needs men of real character and not someone like him. Read reply :
You aren’t alone @OmarAbdullah, most of ur lot (read politicians) don’t like mirror thrusted on u and that’s why my country is bleeding. Nationalism and sacrifice need men of real character and not someone like u searching for lip-service in 280 character limit of social media!!!
