Irfan Junejo is one of the more mature and sensible of the YouTubers lot, however, his silence on Kashmir issue had majority of his fans disappointed. And when they asked him about the silence, this is the logic that he gave:

His 4 tweets long thread on Twitter gathered tons of criticism by his fans and within minutes, he was trending on twitter:
His stance did not sit well with the audience and for them he was cancelled:
Toh scenes kuch aesay hein keh Irfan Junejo can make a video on the protests happened after the release of Asia Bibi (tbh I loved that video) but he won't make a video on the Genocide happening in Kashmir just because YouTube will delete his channel.

Even Waqar Zaka made a video about his tweets:

People were disappointed in him:
I seriously expected better from Irfan Junejo. U dont want to a make a video? Dont. But stop comparing 72 to years of brutal occupation in kashmir with other issues you sick head. @irfanjunejo and yes, you are surely CANCELLED now.

Many called him out on his silence:

People were unfollowing him:
Pakistanis should unfollow Irfan Junejo on every platform so he can rest in peace with his Indian followers. The fear of losing followers by talking on Kashmir issue must be handed over to him by losing a considerable number of Pakistani followers in one day.

People thought of him as a hypocrite:
Irfan Junejo , hypocrisy will never make you acceptable to everyone .
So instead be straight forward and say it loud that you don't wanna lose your indian subscriber's and that's why raising voice for Kashmiri's isn't important for you .— Zain Jalali (@ZainJalali) August 17, 2019
Irfan Junejo is next level hypocrite. Justifying his hypocrisy with lame logic.

Some thought it was all about the numbers game:
i have to say, if you have a voice, better raise it. mehwish hayat did it, hasan minhaj did it, i think irfan junejo could've done it as well. if it's all because of the number's game, he'll lose the game. even if he'd lose his account, he'd get double the support for a new one.

Some were actually mad at him amalgamating two entirely opposite issues to justify his silence:

His logic gave cancer to many:

Many thought he’d be regretting his tweets:

Shit piece 😂

And while many disagreed with him, there were a few who agreed with him:
I don’t care what anyone else says, it makes sense what irfan junejo said

Some thought he didn’t owe anyone an explanation:
-U don’t owe anyone an explanation,
-I tweeted about the issue RTed Hasan & still received the same old BS “dartay ho tum India se”,
-No matter what you talk about, there will always be ppl who say “what about that”, whataboutery will never end,
-No solution to selective outrage— Rehan Ulhaq (@Rehan_ulhaq) August 17, 2019
And only today, Irfan Junejo tweeted how, despite being cancelled, he’s gained a ton of followers:
