Hyderabad, Oct 15 (Hydnow): Tamil Nadu Sports Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin said that the crowd chanting “jai shri Ram” at Pakistani players during the India-Pakistan World Cup cricket match at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad was unacceptable.
The DMK leader, the son of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, was referring to the crowd booing and chanting “jai shri Ram” when the Pakistan players got out of the match.
In a social media post on X, the DMK leader said, “India is renowned for its sportsmanship and hospitality. However, the treatment meted out to Pakistan players at Narendra Modi’s stadium is unacceptable and a new low. Sports should be a unifying force between countries, fostering true brotherhood. Using it as a tool to spread hatred is unacceptable.”
In support of the statement of Udhayanidhi Stalin, several cricket fans from Tamil Nadu have called for showering love and respect on the Pakistan cricket team who are playing in Chepauk in the next ten days.
The fans sang “Vande Mataram” after the Indian team defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in a highly one-sided contest on Saturday at the Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad. (Hydnow)
