During a recent ODI World Cup 2023 match held in India, a Pakistani cricket fan faced an incident that raised questions about unequal treatment. The fan was prevented from chanting the slogan ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ by a local policeman. This raised concerns about the apparent discrimination as Indian fans appeared to be allowed to express their support without interference.
The video of this incident went viral, showing the Pakistani fan seeking an explanation from the policeman. The fan was puzzled by the different treatment and demanded a logical reason for the perceived bias. The confrontation between the fan and the policeman continued, with the officer struggling to provide a satisfactory explanation for the unequal treatment.

As the incident escalated, the Pakistani fan persistently argued for a fair and justifiable explanation. Eventually, the policeman left the scene, leaving unanswered questions about the incident. This situation highlights the importance of ensuring a fair and unbiased approach to create an inclusive and respectful atmosphere for cricket fans from all nations during the World Cup.
It’s worth noting that Pakistani fans have faced challenges such as delays in visa issuance, which have affected their excitement for this major cricket event.
It's shocking and upsetting to see that people are being stopped from cheering "Pakistan Zindabad" at the game.
