Nupur Sharma Comment Row: Irfan Pathan, Gautam Gambhir open up on controversy after Venkatesh Prasad's tweets

Former Indian pacer Irfan Pathan has spoken up on the Nupur Sharma comment row. After the former BJP spokesperson's controversial statement over Prophet Muhammad, protests have taken place in many cities across India and at some places, her effigies have been burnt or hung. She has stated to media that she has received death threats over her remarks for which she has already apologised and already expelled from the BJP party membership. A series of violent events have followed since her comment and Irfan has opened up on the same. He sent a cryptic tweet on the matter, writing that 'Violence is not the answer no matter what the provocation is!'
