Pakistan Has 'chosen War', Says Sehwag; Sindhu Hails Indian Armed Forces

By IANS News May 08, 2025 • 23:34 PM View: 675

The Indian Premier League: Former India captain and batting legend Virender Sehwag on Thursday blamed Pakistan for choosing war when it had the "opportunity to keep quiet".

On Thursday, Pakistan launched aerial attacks on Jammu as well as several military stations near the western border, but those were successfully foiled by India’s air defence systems. Pakistan triggered the war, and the Indian forces launched retaliatory attacks.

Sehwag was among several sportsters who took to social media to blame Pakistan and express support to the Indian armed forces for thwarting the attacks.
