Zulfiqar Azad, SSP Bandipora told Kashmir Wire "We have made arrests in this regard and have counseled the village elders". While support to Pakistan during face-offs with India on the cricket field is common in Kashmir, playing a Pakistani national anthem ahead of local cricket matches has emerged as a new trend in last one year. The teams involved were MCC, Gondipora and Dardpora Cricket Club.
A video of the cricketers standing in attention as the Pakistani national anthem played in the background at the Government Higher Secondary School became viral on social media networking sites and was also circulated widely via WhatsApp in north Kashmir.
