The people of Occupied Kashmir expressed their sentiments and happiness by chanting slogans like ‘Jive Jive Pakistan’, ‘Pakistan Zindabad’, ‘Pakistan Meri Jan’ and ‘Allah o Akbar’.
Meanwhile, during the celebrations, Indian fans attacked and beat Kashmiri students studying in different cities of India. Many Kashmiri students alleged that they were attacked by some people after the match.
After the incident, police rushed to the spot and the situation was brought under control. Students shared videos of broken chairs and injuries to their bodies in their hotel rooms.
Former Indian cricket batsman Virender Sehwag also could not contain his frustration over Kashmiri’s celebrating Pakistan and openly expressed his resentment.
“Firecrackers are banned during Diwali but Pakistan’s victory was celebrated in different parts of India with firecrackers,” Sehwag tweeted.
