'Not One Millimetre Of Land Has...': Sunil Gavaskar Blasts Perpetrators Of Pahalgam Terror Attack Amid IPL 2025

Ex-Indian opener Sunil Gavaskar lashed out at the perpetrators of the terror attack that took place in Pahalgam, Kashmir on Tuesday, resulting in several loss of lives. Gavaskar questioned the perpetrators and all those supporting them, asking what have they achieved from doing this as no land has been exchanged in the last 78 years.

At least 12 tourists have been reported injured and a handful of them lost their lives as unidentified gunmen shot them during the terror attack in Pahalgam. A father-son duo, belonging to Gujarat, are also included in the deceased list as the Indian government has taken several measures against Pakistan, causing a major geopolitical shift.

Let's all stand for peace and humanity.

A minute's silence was observed in Hyderabad to pay respect to the victims of Pahalgam terror attack.

Speaking on Star Sports ahead of the IPL 2025 game on Thursday, the 75-year-old why can't people live in peace and make their respective countries strong instead of resorting to violence.

"I send my condolences to all the families who have lost their loved and dear ones. It has effected all of us Indians....I just wanna ask a question to all the perpetrators, and all those who backed them (the terrorists), their handlers - What has all this fighting achieved? For the last 78 years, not one millimetre of land has exchanged hands, is it? So for the next 78,000 years, nothing is going change. So why don't we live in peace instead, and make our country strong? So that is my appeal."
