Fan Wearing Pakistan Jersey Escorted Out of Stadium
On the final day of a gripping Test match, India staged a remarkable comeback to turn an almost certain defeat into a draw.
However, the end of the match was overshadowed by a controversial incident involving a cricket fan wearing a Pakistan jersey.
According to eyewitnesses, a spectator dressed in Pakistan’s iconic green jersey was approached by a security official of Indian origin, who asked him to remove the shirt.
The fan reportedly refused to comply, leading to further involvement from other security personnel.
The fan explained that no other spectators, including Indian fans around him, had expressed any discomfort with his attire. Despite this, local police were called in.
After a brief exchange outside the stadium, the fan was allowed to leave without further action.
The incident has sparked discussion, especially in light of ongoing political and diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan.
Though the match itself showcased sportsmanship and resilience, the episode involving the Pakistani jersey raised questions about freedom of expression and rising sensitivities in public spaces.
Observers noted that such incidents risk escalating tensions at a time when relations between the two neighbours are already strained.
In previous cases, political friction had even led to cancelled sporting events, including a much-anticipated clash between top cricket clubs from both countries.
