Watch: Pakistan Fan Argues With Police Officer After Being Stopped From Chanting ‘Pakistan Zindabad’
A viral video has gone viral showing the fan arguing with a police officer who stopped him from chanting his country’s name while seated in the stands.
A Pakistani supporter was allegedly prevented from chanting "Pakistan Zindabad" in the terraces at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during the match between Australia and Pakistan.
Pakistani correspondents and supporters have encountered significant challenges in obtaining visas from the Indian government in order to attend the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. As bilateral relations between the two neighboring countries are currently at an all-time low, it has been reported that the Indian government has refrained from granting an excessive number of visas to citizens of Pakistan.
Additionally, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has lodged a complaint with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and demanded that the game's governing body resolve the matter. A few Pakistani admirers, however, have obtained authorization to travel to India; one of them encountered an entirely unexpected event in Bengaluru.
A video that has gone viral depicts the fan engaging in a dispute with a police officer who forbade him from reciting the name of his country from the stands. The Pakistani supporter was clad in a jersey and chanted "Pakistan Zindabad" prior to the officer requesting that he cease.
