Srinagar (Jammu-Kashmir) – It is reported that Furqan Bhat, a cricketer from Kashmir sported Palestine’s flag on his helmet. Police started investigations as the incident drew criticism. Furqan Bhat has been banned from playing in competitive cricket in the future. Presently, Furqan Bhat was playing in ‘Jammu-Kashmir Champions’ League (JKCL)’.

Furqan Bhat has been summoned by the Police for investigations. The purpose for exhibiting Palestine’s flag and whether the organisers’ permission was obtained is being ascertained by the Police.
Even Zahid Bhat, the organiser of JKCL is being interrogated by the Police and all rules and guiding principles were followed by JKCL. The Police have, however, not made any official statement on the issue.

People without love for India should leave – BJP

BJP MP Pravin Khandelwal has stated that hoist India’s flag if you (Muslims) want to stay in India. It will be assumed that people hoisting Palestine’s flag don’t love India and if they have no love for India, they should leave.

Editorial Perspectives

  • India has accepted the existence of Palestine. People in India do not oppose ‘Hamas’ which is a terrorist organisation. Please note that India has not yet imposed a ban on Hamas and therefore, based on these points, Muslims in India always support Palestine and Hamas.
     
  • Muslims in India never oppose or condemn oppression of Hindus in Islamic countries and in the world; therefore, it is now necessary to send all such people to Pakistan and Bangladesh since the partition was based on the religion.
