Katju wrote another tweet saying, \u201cThree cheers for the Indian army which has now started killing civilians in Kashmir, like Gen Dyer at Jalianwala Bagh, or Lt Calley at My Lai in Vietnam. All Indian army officers and soldiers should be given Bharat Ratna.\u201d
Earlier, former Pakistani cricketer and heartthrob, Shahid Afridi had said in his tweeter message that he supports his Prime Minister Imran Khan and \u201cKashmiris must get to decide their future\u201d.
\u201cI totally support Imran Bhai! I have always maintained the same. Justice must be delivered, Kashmiris must get to decide their future,\u201d Afridi wrote on his Twitter, in reaction to Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan\u2019s earlier tweets.
While condemning the killing, PM Khan had said that \u2018only dialogue, and not violence and killings, will resolve this conflict\u2019.
