A part of the Kerlite community in Dubai has given a strong criticism online after welcoming former Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi enthusiastically in a recent event. The dispute arises from Afridi’s previous comments after the April 22 incident, which already extended diplomatic strains between India and Pakistan.

The incident has ignited a widespread debate on social media how migrant communities and public figures should navigate political sensitivity. While some argue for keeping sports and politics separate, others contend that public appearances by divisive figures inherently carry political weight.
Baikalash has also raised questions about the expectations on Indian migrants abroad. Should they prioritize patriotic overt displays, or is it acceptable to treat such incidents as non-political functions purely?
As the discussion comes out, the viral video remains a flashpoint, proves how quickly a public moment can grow in a hot national debate. The phenomenon throws light on the fine line between cultural praise and political messages in a rapid polarized world.
