Kashmir praying for Pakistan?s victory

It is bitter to absorb but is a fact that majority in Kashmir is praying for Pakistan?s victory against India at the Cricket World Cup semifinal to be held at Mohali on Wednesday.

Youths in upper and down-town area of Srinagar are collecting funds to purchase fire-crackers as they intend to crack them after Pakistan emerges a victor.

Facebook users in Kashmir are busy commenting over the ‘big game’; all praying for Pakistan to beat India.

“It is a war and we have to defeat India, come on bro (brother) pay for Pakistan,” comments a Facebook user.

Superintendent of Police North Kashmir, Showket Hussain Shah has already appealed to the youths to keep calm and enjoy the match as a sport.

Sources said that Jammu and Kashmir Police held an important meeting to discuss action plan in case of any eventuality.

Authorities fear that some miscreants may create trouble and hence, they don?t want to take a chance.

A Kashmiri youth told IBNS that his support to Pakistan doesn?t reflect that he is a Pakistani.

“I want to see India losing, no matter against which team he plays,” he said.
