    "editor1": "<p><strong>New Delhi, April 2:&nbsp;<\/strong>&nbsp;Ace India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has reacted to the criticism which he and Yuvraj Singh received for extending support to Shahid Afridis humanitarian work amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>On Thursday, Harbhajan uploaded a video on his Twitter handle showing Sikhs preparing and distributing food to needy in England. &quot;No religion, no cast, only humanity...that&#39;s what it is...stay safe stay home...spread love not hate or virus...let&#39;s pray for every single one...May Waheguru bless us all,&quot; he wrote along with the video.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, Yuvraj had also said that by asking for help for Shahid Afridi foundation, didn&#39;t want to hurt anyone&#39;s feelings and all he tried was to help people suffering due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I really don&#39;t understand how a message to help the most vulnerable people gets blown out of proportion! All I tried to achieve through that message was to help people in our own respective countries by providing healthcare, my intention was not to hurt anyone&#39;s feelings,&quot; Yuvraj said in a message posted on his Twitter handle on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I&#39;m an Indian and I will always bleed blue and will always stand for humanity. Jai Hind,&quot; he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier on Tuesday, Yuvraj and Harbhajan Singh paired up with Afridi to help those in need during the pandemic which has claimed thousands of lives across the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;These are testing times, it&#39;s time to lookout for each other specially the ones who are lesser fortunate. Let&#39;s do our bit, I am supporting Shahid Afridi and Shahid Afridi Foundation in this noble initiative of COVID-19. Please donate on donatekarona.com,&quot; Yuvraj had tweeted tagging Harbhajan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Harbhajan had also praised Afridi for the valuable social work he was doing in these trying circumstances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>However, a hashtag #ShameonYuviBhajji started trending on Twitter with users lashing out at the duo for helping Afridi. At the same time, there was also support for the former India all-rounder with #IStandWithYuvi hashtag doing<br \/>\r\nthe rounds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">No religion,no cast, only humanity..that&rsquo;s what it is.. stay safe stay home..spread love not hate or virus.. let&rsquo;s pray for every single one..
