The Rawalpindi Express on Monday (March 16) once again became the talk of the town for his controversial tweet. This time, Akhtar has taken a dig at the world by taking the name of Kashmir.

“Dear World, How is the lockdown? Kashmir,” he tweeted.

Since the world has come to a standstill due to Coronavirus outbreak, Shoaib with this statement, took a jibe at the world for not raising voice on Kashmir lockdown.

Notably, India had on August 5 last year revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution, and bifurcated the state into two Union Territories. The region was also placed under a lockdown, which was slowly eased in the following months.

Just a few days ago, Akhtar had blamed the eating habits of Chinese people for the deadly COVID-19, which has been declared pandemic by the World Health Organization.

“I don’t understand why you have to eat things like bats, drink their blood and urine and spread some virus across the globe…I’m talking about the Chinese people. They have put the world at stake. I really don’t understand how you can eat bats, dogs, and cats. I’m really angry,” Akhtar said in a video posted on his Youtube channel.

“The whole world is at risk now. The tourism industry has been hit, the economy is badly affected and the whole world is going towards a lockdown. I’m not against the people of China but I’m against the law of animals. I understand this may be your culture but this is not benefitting you now, it is killing humanity. I’m not saying you boycott the Chinese but there has to be some law. You cannot go on and eat anything and everything,” he added.

Coronavirus, which originated in China’s Wuhan city, has so far spread to more than five continents, taking over 6,500 lives while infecting close to 1,69,000 people.
