“Team India your BLM knee-taking counts for nothing if you can’t stand up for your teammate who is being horribly abused and trolled on social media,” Omar Abdullah, a former chief minister in the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir, said on Twitter. “Ignore the haters, most of India’s grateful for your effort,” said another supporter on Instagram. People set off celebratory gunfire in the Pakistani cities of Islamabad and Karachi after the famous win, while hundreds ignited firecrackers in Muslim-majority Indian Kashmir, where troops are fighting an insurgency.
GautamGambhir, a former India Test cricketer who has become an MP for the ruling Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, said it was “shameful” that people were celebrating Pakistan’s win. In Punjab state students from Kashmir said they were beaten up. A student at an engineering and technology institute said dozens of men armed with hockey sticks and batons attacked them as they watched the closing stages of the game. “They entered our room, switched off the lights and beat us. They destroyed our laptops,” the student said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears of more trouble. “We are safe now and we have support from our college. But we didn’t expect this at all. We are Indians.” The match also sparked violence in neighbouring Bangladesh. Two Pakistan supporters were beaten by India fans as they celebrated the win in one southern district, meda reports said.
